Please help.

I am so afraid to go off the pill. I’ve been on the birth control pill everyday for 10 years now. One time I stopped the pill for 3 months (bc I didn’t refill my scrip with gyno) and I went absolutely crazy! So moody and depressed, lashing out at my partner. I was a complete different person. And of course, my acne and horrible periods came back. I also have endometriosis and birth control is supposed to suppress this awful disease. I am terrified that my endometriosis and depression/moodiness is going to get worse again

[@snhannis]

Hello and thank you for this video! I've experienced some weird symptoms from being on and since going off BCP. I didn't hear anything on this however could spotting be due to something being off? I've had a pap/HPV and ultrasound and everything is normal. I asked about my hormones and was told that this just might be the way my body is now. I spot randomly and usually it starts mid cycle and can last a tiny bit up until my actual period. Other months I don't notice it really at all.

[@kaylaszampruch]

Hi Shannon! I'm curious, do you happen to know if the spotting might be coordinating with your ovulation? It's not too common, but some women find that they have cramps or spotting during ovulation. 😊

[@snhannis]

@@kaylaszampruch Hi yes I do tend to spot around ovulation and get some pain on one side during some cycles. The spotting can sometimes happen from ovulation to when my next period starts while some cycles I experience very little or no spotting.

Hi! I was on an anti androgen birth control for 9 years I finally decided to stop the pills and deal with my painful periods and acne head on. I had my hormones tested and they came back completely normal but I was also in the follicular phase of my cycle. instead of telling me if my values were normal based on what they should be in the follicular cycle my doctor based her diagnosis on women from one age to another. I am experiencing jawline and forehead acne. I have a lot of symptoms of testosterone dominance( abnormal hair growth, acne, and irregular periods.) I have been drinking spearmint tea for a month now and it has helped with the sensitivity of the acne but not the acne itself. I also have been taking dimm which helped with the breast tenderness I’ve experienced. I really appreciate any advice you could give. Thank you for all your help!

@@beautychick057 l never received a reply. I did take DIM for about a month as l began breaking out once l ceased taking BC, but it did nothing for me. I then decided to just give my skin time, started using a spot cream in the mornings for active blemishes and trentinoin cream periodically in the evenings for cell turn over and my skin is doing awesome. It's been 5 months since stopping BC and my skin hasn't looked this great since l was in high school. I was deathly afraid of coming off of BC as l heard so many horror stories and also read that if you were using BC to control your acne, then it would more than likely return once you stopped (l was only taking it to control my acne). I will just continue to follow the plan that my derm created for me and take it one day at a time.

Oxidative stress is generally what lowers egg count most quickly. Smoking, environmental exposures, lack of antioxidants in the diet. Whereas we can not increase our egg count, we can slow down cellular aging with antioxidants: coq10, pqq, resveratrol, acetyl l carnitine, nac, vit E, etc. find a local ND to help you! 🌸

Is it possible to have an estrogen dominance but also have the unwanted hair growth? Blood work came out normal, no hormonal imbalance.. 😢

[@PrettyWell]

Yes you can have estrogen dominance and also have high androgens (DHEAs/DHEA + testosterone). The androgens would be responsible for dark hair growth. You can try a dutch test as well to look at tissue levels - www.dutchtest.com Work with a holistic doc in this ♥️

[@PrettyWell]

Another thing to understand is the if estrogen is low, testosterone can also be low but have a more potent effect (ie black chin hairs) because estrogen is not blocking it’s effect...very common in menopause.

Hello! Thank you for the video! I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone who chose the copper iud Paragard as a form of non-hormonal birth control, but I chose to have that installed towards the end of January 2019 a couple days after my birthday. Prior to getting Paragard, my skin was so clear, and balanced with the exception of some acne scars (pitted) from about 7-8 years ago when I had acne. Despite this, my skin was in a happy place where topically it was clear, even, small pores, no blackheads and no sensitivity. As well as internally balanced with hormones, digestive health, gut health, and no potential food sensitivities. However, this all changed about 2-3 months after Paragard insertion. Everything got disrupted and now not only do I have acne, exessive oiliness, fields of blackheads and large pores, but I also developed Malasezzia (Pityrosporum Folliculitis) AKA fungal acne on my forehead. I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP 😔 How do I restore balance back into my body after having Paragard for about 3-4 months and then removing it around May? Do I need to take a blood test to get my levels checked or any other tests? I'm so embarrassed to be seen by people who last time they saw me (a few months ago) I had clear skin and now suddenly my skin is bad by comparison. I would really appreciate the help 😥❤

Hi Hebah! If you keep in mind that stopping a hormonal medication allows our body's hormones to take place of these moving forward. It could take time for our body to rebalance as well as regain the normal signals between our ovaries, pituitary gland, and other glands that regulate our menstrual cycle.

[@gabiirexs]

i've been suffering from rashes on my face and parts of my body along with hair thinning since Sept. 2019. After seeing a number of doctors and dermatologist and having medications given to me and blood drawn at least 5 times they were all inconclusive and doctors were really unenthusiastic in helping me with this very uncomfortable and unsightly problem. I believe I have discovered on my own that it may be my birth control (Nuvaring). I have been mostly on (more than off) BC for the past 14-15 years and I've decided this last cycle - about a week ago now - to stop taking BC. I've noticed a reduction in my rashes already but I am worried about more hair thinning as my hair has already thinned quiet a bit over the years i'm sure do to on and off hormonal imbalances etc. Do you suggest anything to help with prevention or hormonal balance in regards to hair loss/thinning since I am now off of synthetic hormonal BC? I am going to take your suggestions you've listed on the 3 things to do first but I wanted to ask specifically for diffused hair thinning.

[@PrettyWell]

Thank you for your share and your questions. The 1st thing to do would be to get your hormone levels checked both day 3 as well as day 21 (luteal phase) of your cycle. Total estrogen, E1+E2, progesterone, DHEA, free and total testosterone. Also full thyroid hormone work up - watch our hormone test 101 video as well as our hair loss video. Find an ND or holistic doc to help you! In the mean time, supplement with collagen, msm, foti, minerals, iron and vit C (desc box of the hair loss video) while you wait for more specific info.

I hope this will go away!! My scalp is also so sensitive!! And I am getting pimples on my scalp the pimples on my face are so bad and hormonal!!

[@ellengreen2957]

Jess P hey! Yes it did go away! I got rid of the flakiness by using Dandrazol shampoo on my face and hair! I then I bought this Skin Conditioning Oil from Biom8 which really helped! It’s been almost 7months since I’ve been off the pill, so I think the products in conjunction with time has helped!

@@ellengreen2957 I don't have it anywhere but my scalp and everytime I use anti dandruff shampoo it burns my scalp.... Do you think with time it will? Was your hair also oiler? It's only been 4 months since I have been off of the pill

[@ellengreen2957]

Jess P I do believe it should go away with time. I also did a hormone blood check and the results came back okay, so I think it was just a temporary reaction to being off the pill. I would use a prescribed anti fungal shampoo as that helped ease my symptoms for my hair!

I am so afraid to go off the pill. I’ve been on the birth control pill everyday for 10 years now. One time I stopped the pill for 3 months (bc I didn’t refill my scrip with gyno) and I went absolutely crazy! So moody and depressed, lashing out at my partner. I was a complete different person. And of course, my acne and horrible periods came back. I also have endometriosis and birth control is supposed to suppress this awful disease. I am terrified that my endometriosis and depression/moodiness is going to get worse again

I'm in the same boat right now. Was taking the pill for 12 years and just stopped it beginning of January. My husband said it's like he is meeting a new person 😂😂 This is the wildest rollercoaster I've ever been on!!!

I came off Dianette or Diane 35 a little over months ago and have found my hair is falling out quite a bit and have had a lot of back acne and some painful cystic acne on my face. I had a hormone test but it came back normal. Im very worried about my hair loss and dont know what to do. Any tips would be so appreciated

[@PrettyWell]

I think it would be helpful for you to work with a Naturopathic Doctor to measure your hormones and adrenals through functional testing (eg dutchtest.com) and to create a long term comprehensive treatment plan for you.

I was wondering why no folic acid? I just purchased some pills that contain Mayo and D-Chiro inositol and also contains.folate (as folic acid). I have pmdd and a hormonal imbalance. I produce too much DHEA and testosterone and i just feel like a hot mess every two weeks before my period and are somewhat normal the other two. My fatigue is just terrible, moods are off and anxiety level around my pms is just bad at time....I’ve just start the pills i just mentioned hoping it will help along with vitex, and some b12 that I’ve notice has helped somewhat with my energy....but just want to know about the folic acid? And

Hi dr I’m 23 year old i was wondering if Primrose oil is safe to take for a long time because I have a acne and it works for me but my sister told me that it’s not safe for along time and is there any side effect. Thank you

[@PrettyWell]

Hi! Yes, it is safe long term. Consider it a food that helps balance your hormones 🙏🏻🌸
