Default BCPs Making Symptoms Worse

Has anyone had issues while on Estelle 35 (Diane 35) where it isnt helping??

I been on Estelle 35 (Diane 35) and Im about to go into my 5th cycle but ever since I started my hair started falling out in clumps, facial hair grew longer and the acne on my face is a total mess, worse than ever in my life. I have an oil slick on my face throughout the whole cycle that I never had before and my face feels like braile arrrrrrgh. I was hoping this BCP would stop the severe nights sweats that I have been having but now they are chronic and causing me to wake 3-4 times dripping wet. Apparently this is a sure sign of estrogen dominance and my adding more estrogen in the form of BCP has blown my hormones right outta whack. I thought BCPs were sposed to regulate everything? if anything it made things worse?

The other thing is I think I have a blood clot in my left leg as I cant stand on it for long and sometimes gets tingling in my toes. This is a red flag for me but Im too scared to stop the pill in fear my face will look like a monster??

The only thing this BCP has helped with was the mad headaches I used to get at ovulatuon for 3 days and just before I menstruated.

Anyways trying to find a cure for my skin was how I found out that I had PCOS.

I been reading that book "what your doctor may not tell you about premenopause" and Im so shocked I hadnt read it before I started BCPs I never would have touched them.

Natural Progesterone Cream is my last line of defence and Im off to the doc to get a prescription as its the only way in to obtain in New Zealand, please work???
