I love Slynd. I have been on it for years and have no issues. I take it to skip my period and it’s wonderful.

I’ve heard many doing the same and good feedback about using Slynd in general! Thanks for sharing

My NP recommended me to switch from Lo LoEstrine to Slynd. I’m experiencing some hormone imbalance issues right now - will Slynd balance it out?

Taking slynd for heavy peri periods has worsened my situation. How long do I take it to “wait it out”? I am on my fourth month.

@SandraaSLP Ай бұрын

I am on my second month and wondering the same thing 😢

I just started slynd in about 2 months ago, switching from an estrogen pill. I haven’t had a period but I am spotting and cramping some days, is this normal to not have a set period schedule?

@heypharmacist 2 ай бұрын

Yup!

Isnt't Desogestrel used in the US/Canada? I think it is/has been the "standard" mini-pill in Europe at least before Slinda/Slynd and it has e.g. much longer missed pill window than 3 hours.

Do you think slynd could help with my acne? I’m going to start it soon but I’m fearful that it might worsen my acne instead of helping it.

@heypharmacist 5 ай бұрын

Slynd has anti androgenic properties which technically should make it more favourable for those with acne.

@Shrut-patel 15 күн бұрын

Have u take it? My gynecologist also prescribed me for acne and i never took it becoz of side effects

@nickyseize7097 Ай бұрын

Since it raises potassium, can it also give you liver and kidney problems?

@nickyseize7097 Ай бұрын

Are there any other side effects like depression, anxiety, mood swings, etc?

I started taking Slynd a little under 2 months now and have experienced extreme weight gain recently (10lbs in a week). I haven’t done anything to change my diet or exercise and other than the gain I feel fine. Does this pill have a high risk of weight gain?

@cyliefields1620 19 күн бұрын

10lbs in a week makes it just water weight you have gained since it's impossible to gain that much fat in that time frame. You should probably speak with your doctor about this though since that much water weight in one week seems unusual.

Very informative🙏🏻 But can i know if i’m protected from pregnancy in the 4 days of the placebo pills?

@genie121 Ай бұрын

Yes you are.

@Mar-sb1ss Ай бұрын

I’m confused!!! So when I get to the green pills I should take it like a normal pill at the same time or do I skip the green pill?

@cyliefields1620 19 күн бұрын

Skip the green pills if you want to skip your period

@SandraaSLP Ай бұрын

How long does it take to regulate periods? I started 2 months ago and my periods are still super bad 😢

Wow I just learned about this new birth control! Now there is Slynd, is there even a place in therapy for movisse/jencycla??? Should I just start switching all my mini-pill patients to Slynd?

@heypharmacist 6 ай бұрын

The flexibility piece can definitely be beneficial for those who forget to take their pill the same time each day!

Why do you not recommend this for people with Adrenal issues?

@heypharmacist 2 ай бұрын

SLYND is contraindicated in females with conditions that predispose to hyperkalemia (e.g. renal impairment, hepatic impairment, and adrenal insufficiency).
