Birth control has a WIDE range of symptoms. All birth control affects people differently (mostly due to a failure of the companies that produce the medications. Was primarily tested on white men originally... as most medications have been). Not sure that it can be definitively stated that it was entirely the medications fault, but apologies anyway.
My wife used to be on Implanon (now Nexplanon) and she basically didn't have a period for like 3 years. I think the new dose has protection for 5 years (it's primarily a birth control that they implant into your arm)
Thanks! /gen
Yeah mine had me go on a bunch of elimination diets and nothing helped. I went on a wildly limiting diet for a month of mostly chicken and broccoli and that didn't help either so I'm just broken :)
Added, thanks!
Edited, thanks!
Quick google shows he joined Twitter March 2009 so this is a fake tweet, just in case anyone is wondering
Locking this. ~70 reports from 3 people (two of them the same person) is abuse of the reporting system. Also lots of bad faith arguing going on.
Locking this post. It's 2 days old and we're still getting new reports. Be nice.
There's a second tweet with more info
Historically, women have been seen (medically) as just smaller men. The tests I'm talking about were to determine side-effects, not effectiveness of the medication. So while hair removal is for people with hair, you can still test on Patrick Stewart to see if there's going to be chemical burns. But because it's medication, and was mostly tested on white men, BIWOC were left mostly untested and are more likely to experience complications and different side-effects.
Scientists just started this year (or last year I forget) using actual blood to test period products. They used colored water before. Our medical system has systematically left women to figure shit out on their own.
