Hello! I think the pill is prescribed to at least somehow help with your symptoms. I could not tolerate taking pills because I would gain so much weight on it. Despite the low dose BCP prescribed by my doctor, I still gained weight

I liked the idea of taking pills because it helped regulate my hormones. And I also didn't have pelvic pain and acne while on it. Talk to your doctor about your concerns so that you will arrive at a sound decision. I wish you all the best!
