I am in tears today.

About a month and a half ago, my doctor changed my birth control without telling me. It's "basically the same" because they're both Progestin only pills because I can't take anything with Estrogen.

Unfortunately, I woke up in extreme pain this morning and I almost had a mental breakdown when I realized that it was my period, despite the fact that I've been taking the pill every single day at the same exact time. I don't know if it's that this pill doesn't work as well as the last one or what, but when I was on Slynd I never even had spotting. Now that it was changed to Jencycla, I've been cramping a lot, but it wasn't nearly as bad as period cramps so I didn't mind all that much. Then my back started hurting like it did during my period, but I made note of it and moved on.

But today. Today I woke up in so much pain, that very familiar pain, the whole reason I'm on birth control to begin with, and I wanted to lose it. I'm sobbing as I write this post because I'm so sick of it. I'm so tired. I don't want this anymore, I don't want to "handle" this anymore. I'm in so much pain. The pills were supposed to stop this, what's the point of taking them if they don't even work???

Slynd (drospirenone) is progestin only pill (POP). You can use it in pts you don't want to give estrogen to, like pts with hx of breast CA.

Adenomyosis is when the endometrium grows into the myometrium—i.e., the cells lining the inside of the uterus grow into the wall of the uterus. This can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, painful sex, iron deficiency.

Treatment is progestin. Mirena IUD is a good option for heavy menstrual bleeding. Oral contraceptives such as Slynd or Aygestin (has higher progesterone) are also options.

Slynd = Estrogen-free. Slynd is an oral contraceptive that does not contain any estrogen, and has the hormone drospirenone, which is a progestin.

So, I've been taking Slynd for two months. It's an estrogen-free birth control because I am unable to take anything with estrogen. I know that results will vary for everyone, but this is the first birth control that I can legit say I almost forget I'm taking because the side effects have been minimal. This still isn't ideal, I don't want to have to take a daily pill just so my uterus doesn't kill me, but for now it'll work.
