Tuve los sintomas de SOP toda la adolescencia. A los 18 la ginecóloga me dijo que tenia SOP y que tomase diane 35. La tomé por 6 años 🫠

Ya tenía depresión y ansiedad social pero lo venía manejando muy bien. La pastilla me volvió loca. Cambios de humor, super deprimida, super antojos, libido 0 y lubricación inexistente.

Hace un poco mas de un año insistí dejarla, mi ginecóloga me dijo q use condones y que me cuide bien... Nunca me dijo que podía haber una repercusión de no medicarlo 🫠!

Un año sin pastilla y me sentia muchisimo mejor, volvió el libido, la lubricación se solucionó, me deprimia mucho menos y mi relacion mejoró muchisimo porque se me fueron los cambios de humor ridículos

Me encontré un reel hablando de q puede ser peligroso no tratarlo y no menstruar por varios meses. A mis 3meses sin sangrar voy y le pregunto a la gine. Me cagó a pedos. Diciendo que yo no quiero las anticonceptivas pero quiero menstruar 😐. Literal fui a preguntar este tema porque no se nada al respecto y tenia miedo de que me agarre cáncer en el utero qseyo

Me dijo que lo hable con la endocrinóloga, la cual me manda a hacer muchos estudios. Resulta que tengo las hormonas masculinas altisimas, me receta anticonceptivas (drospirenona) y pastillas para bajar las otras hormonas (espironolactona y finasteride). Entro en crisis porque no quiero volver a deprimirme y pasar por todo el infierno, pero me dice q no hay de otra. Empecé las pastillas el mes pasado.

Casi un mes después estoy completamente deprimida, cambios de humor horribles, me enojo por las pelotudeces mas grandes en el mundo, me quiero cagar a piñas con todo el q me cruzo. El libido está cada vez mas bajo y la ultima vez que tuve sexo tuve que usar mas lubricante que de costumbre 🫠.

Chicas, alguna logró solucionar esto de otra forma? Estan mejor informadas al respecto y me pueden iluminar? Honestamente estoy con ganas de morirme por toda esta situación y no veo salida. No quiero vivir asi 😭

Gracias por leerme reinas, cualquier comentario se los super agradezco

Hello everyone, I recently found this sub while researching about pcos, I wanted to tell you my story so far and ask for advice ☺️

When I was a teen I had very irregular periods, deep voice and thick body hair for a girl, but several doctors dismissed it all, and told me It'd get fixed once I was an adult. When I was 16 I didn't have a period for 6 months, then bled for like 3 weeks straight, I was scared but family wasn't the best so I didn't tell anyone in detail, and hoped It would fix itself when I grew up.

At 18 I went to my first gyno appointment and after some blood tests and an ultrasound I was told I had PCOS and would have to take Diane35. Nothing was explained and as a young human with crippling social anxiety I did not ask anything 🥲. Googled real quick and it said I'd be infertile, that was a huge shock 🫠!! (I've since researched more about it and learned it's not like that, but for my young mind I was very distraught 😭)

I've had social anxiety and depression since I was 12, but at 18 I had started going out with my now husband and moved out of my parents place so I was feeling way better emotionally.

Here comes the changes, before starting the pill I had a very high libido, and was struggling with mental health but kinda getting by. Slowly but surely the pills made me lose all my libido, depressed me to no end, lubrication got so bad sex was painful even when using so much lube. It honestly sucked so bad.

At 24 (March 2025) I was talking to my new gyno about leaving the pill, and she told me we'd do more tests eventually but that she didn't want to because I'd have to stop taking the pills... So I stopped taking them for a month under the excuse of not being able to buy some for a while and asked to do the tests. They came back "okay" from what she told me, and I was feeling a bit better without the pills so I insisted on not taking them anymore. She told me I could get a kyleena IUD, but after researching and finding that some people still had the same issues with it I refused.

She told me I could stop taking them then, only worried a bit about possibly getting pregnant, but chilled after I told her I was getting married and already used condoms 🤷‍♀️. She didn't tell me anything bad could happen from it or anything.

Slowly libido comes back, my mood improves SO MUCH! Sex no longer hurts after a couple months. Life is good!

August 2025 I get my last period, and by January 2026 I'm worried, not pregnant, but I come across an Instagram reel saying it's dangerous not to have your period, so I take out an appointment and go back to my gyno. She gets pissy at me for "not wanting to take the pill but wanting to have my period" I ask if it's dangerous not to bleed, she tells me I have to see my endocrinologist about it if I don't want birth control. I get my period late January.

I start seeing a new endocrinologist, she sends multiple tests to get done on my period... But I don't bleed for another couple months and counting 🫠. She tells me to get them done regardless and is appalled at my levels of Testosterone and Androgens.

Last month she tells me I HAVE to get back on bc, but after I repeat my concerns gives me a different kind, plus two other pills to lower those other hormones (Drospirenone, Finasteride and Spironolactone). She also tells me my cortisol levels are high and to chill a bit. I panic 😊!

I've been taking these pills for almost a month. Within the first few weeks my mood swings got insane. I get enraged for the silliest of things. My libido is getting lower and I struggle with depression daily on a whole different level. I want to die over having to do laundry. I can't work on the projects I've been creating the last couple months.

I've been in therapy since I was 16, still going strong, my psychologist told me to talk further with my doctors to find another way, because bc has had bad repercussions in my mental health in the past. I'm trying it out for the moment to see if the symptoms go away with time, but will bring this up to my doctor next appointment.

Here's where I ask for advice:

Have you guys had any experiences with these symptoms and how did it change over time? Were you able to manage them somehow? Are there any other ways to work around this issue?

I'm honestly not worried about body hair or cosmetic symptoms, my worry was getting some kind of life threatening disease from my uterus lining being too thick! I'm distraught that I have to live depressed and miserable. Have you guys found a different way to solve this issue? Anything you recommend to try out?

Thank you so much for the patience everyone!

Que opinan de estos especímenes?

Hoy fui al super temprano para evitar la lluvia (no funcionó y me agarró a la vuelta 🫠) y estaba lleno de viejos (por supuesto)

Despues de lidiar con una señora parada en frente de la heladera de carne por literalmente 15 minutos termine las compras y fui a la fila de la caja.

Una señora dejó su carrito de compras en la fila y se fue a seguir comprando cosas, y yo y todos los demas pelotudos quedamos esperando atras de su carrito mientras la viejita compraba todo muy lento y relajadamente (porque es vieja y tiene todo el tiempo del mundo) y se retrasaba la cola por su culpa.

Que opinan de estas situaciones? Hicieron algo al respecto en alguna otra ocasión?

Para colmo justo cuando me tocaba pasar a mi apareció la vieja de la heladera de carne y se me quiso colar 😐 no estoy diseñada para vivir en sociedad parece.
