I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I finally got diagnosed with PCOS and my Dr put me on bcps, I've been on Met for like 4 years now anyway. I got thru 3 weeks on Yaz and had to stop due to seriously weirdo neurological symptoms (arms and legs went numb, had a migraine for 2 weeks) so I waited a week and tried Alesse. Well 3 weeks later and guess what, arms and legs numb and 6 migraines in 9 days so I'm guessing that I may not be a good bcp candidate.
When I had the blood work done my estrogen was as my Dr put it "so low the newborn girl in the next room as more estrogen" and my testosterone was so high that "somewhere some guy in a strong man competition is jealous". So obviously I need some balancing out.
I mean to be blunt I can ignore the goatee, insomnia and sex drive of a teenage rabbit but the damn depression is just too much.
So what the heck comes after bcps or should I push to keep trying a different brand until I get it right? I mean I was awfully cheerful when I wasn't, you know, screaming in a dark room from the headache.
