Hormone imbalance from birth control
Common Questions and Answers about Hormone imbalance from birth control
hormone
If you have an Implanon and are getting a lot of symptoms that sound hormonally related, one thing to do is to remove the Implanon and go on another form of birth control that doesn't involve hormones (such as condoms and foam or an IUD), to let your body go back to its normal hormone cycles. Do this for two or three months and see if your cycles regulate, and how you feel. Keep a journal, it will help you see patterns. Then see how you're doing with the symptoms you list.
I am a 27 year old female and have been sick with weird symptoms since May 2013. I have been on the same birth control for about 7 years (the generic name is Sprintec). About a year ago, I started getting really sick during the inactive period week. I was getting nausea, diarrhea, and just feeling completely drained. My gyno switched me to a stronger pill (orth-tricyclan) in April 2013...
Yaz is great especially if you have a hormone imbalance. I don't get any side effects from it. I was scared of taking it, glad I did....
I am starting to think I may be suffering from a hormone imbalance as my symptoms seem to go when I start my period. I also suffer from inability to sleep, mood swings cyclical depression, facial hair, hot flushes as well as cold and irregular periods, I am now having 2 periods a month, one really light and short and one a week later that is pretty severe....

Hello,
These symptoms can be due to hormonal imbalance. You need to get your hormone levels checked from a gynecologist and if they are low then you may need to take hormonal treatment or oral contraceptives for some time till the hormone levels come back to normal.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Three months ago I had this same thing happen. I've never in my life missed a period and for weeks and weeks I kept taking an HPT with no results. At last I figured out I was having a "Phantom Pregnany" or hormone imbalance. I've been on the pill for nearly ten years, and a lot of things can cause a hormone imbalance from the water you drink to the things you eat to the pill itself, I learned.
mostly in the case of birth control. Unlike a lot of people, I had never been pregnant when I was first diagnosed, I had however had a Mirena IUD for a couple years, and prior to that Depo and the pill.
Long story short; while having GM, I had my IUD removed and had a child. Afterwards, I had an IUD inserted again, and within 2 weeks had my GM flaring up. I immediately had my doctor remove it, and they wrote me a script for a low hormone pill, my GM continued to flare up.
I will tell you though, I had a thyroid issue and a hormone imbalance. I have not taken birth control pills since that time. I also got melasma (facial discoloring) from the hormone imbalance when on BC pills and it went away when I discontinued them. I just found other ways to prevent pregnancy. You may able to find a suitable solution with your doctor. But with your thyroid issues, you are now a more complex patient that needs professional guidance related to any hormones you take.
If you get terrible migraines prior to your period it is caused by a hormone problem or hormone imbalance. I don't take birth control pills and don't no why you have this bleeding. I would recommend you have your hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and FSH) checked though blood work. I would also see an endocrinologist because they specialize in this area. I never new that taking the pill would suppress having you cycle completely.
I understand that this may be a hormonal imbalance and I have been taking the appropriate measures to try to get them back on track by taking my Levothyroxine everyday, for my thyroid, which I always have, Zoloft and Lorazapam to help cope with my current situation, a low dose birth control pill, Magnesium, and Vitamin D3. I have also been eating a low-carb diet and trying to get on an appropriate sleep schedule. Although I feel very out of it all the time, cognitively I feel the same.
Have you had your hormone balance checked? Hormone imbalance can cause that type of cyst/abscess around the vaginal area. I have also had the same problem in the past, and it was present for years. Since I have tested my hormone levels and started treating the imbalance, the cysts have completely disappeared. Hormone imbalances can also cause deficiencies in vitamins in the body that are essential for your immune system.
I am looking for birth control suggestions, since I have never been on it, and my periods are sometimes extremely painful and irregular, with not much bleeding. I exercise almost every day and have low body fat, but my doctor suggested I see a gynecologist since I may have ovarian cysts, and it runs in the family. I have an appointment in two weeks but would like to be well researched before I agree to take just anything.
I went to go to get checked & the doctor told me i had some kind of bacteria infec goin on & a yeast infection, prescribed me medication for 1 week for the bacteria & 1 pill for the yeast infection, i also just started birth control, & now im done with the pills but still taking birth control, i started to notice Thick White Discharge with Dark Brown Spots..im worried! what could it be..?
that week i felt very off, just not myself. a week later i got my period and started birth control for the very first time from my doctor's orders, which was around two weeks ago. ever since i feel like i have been on a decline. horrible mood all the time, angry and frustrated at stupid things, depressed, and recently loss of appetite and no energy whatsoever. which is weird because i am normally very energetic and upbeat and working out all the time.
Are you on birth control? When we have our period theres water retention that makes us feel bloated and keeps it flowing (bc loss of blood) thats why in midol there is a diaratic..which increases urine frequency so we dont feel as bloated. If your on a birth control thats new it tends to shorten your period. If your not but you have gotten older your period can also change with age. Mine did the same thing..now esp that I am on birth control.
