Hi Ladies--I need some help. I have been on and off BC for about 10 years (am 27 now) and although i am not looking to conceive right now I got off recently in hopes of trying to regulate my body through good diet/Met/Supplements so I can hopefully someday conceive. I'm also basically afraid of the long term effects of BC and side affects, as well as the potential to make IR worse (I see some of those articles). What are your experiences and research led you to believe?? I am suffering from acne now and wondering if I should try and get my endo to bump up my Met from 1000 to 1500 or if I should give up and go back to BC...I have a new gyno appointment in a week or so and should make an endo appointment soon. Any help is much appreciated!

I would try this question out one of the other sites (alternative treatments or one of those). I truly think BCP made my condition worse if it didn't actually cause it, but that's just me. I have had luck with my acne with the met, so I might try and increase in your dose. I am also looking into the benefits of natural progesterone cream. It seems like it helps but I haven't tried it yet. I hope someone can help you find what works for you.
