Hi Ladies...I was wondering how many of you, if any, have taken BC with little or no side effects. My NP suggested that maybe going on a low dose BC would help balance my hormones. I have been Mirena free for 20 months. I am much better, but still deal with minor symptoms. They seem worse around ovulation and period time. A little nervous abut this. I don't want to have a crash if and when I decide to stop using BC. I also wonder how long it takes to balance your hormones naturally. Maybe, I can wait it out. Time does seem to help.Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
