Default Progesterone Only

Hey ladies,

I was just at my Dr. and she prescribed a progesterone only BCP because I am nursing. Anyone know how this will affect my PCOS.

funny you bring this up.. I have no clue how it works but my doctor suggested it yesterday.. I told her no cause she took me off of BCP 4 weeks ago. I need time for the stuff to get out of my system before i boost myself with other hormones.

Hey ladies!
Thought I'd chime in since I just came off the mini pill after pumping for the quads for 3 months. (I'd had enough!)
It really didn't "do" much. It may have had some minimal improvement on my skin, though I don't really get pimples anymore, just those small bumps and large pores. Seemed like that improved overall. I did notice a marked weight gain though. I say marked because with running around for the babies all day, I really should have been losing, not gaining and I managed to add on about 7-8lbs. Before the pills, I weighed less than I had before the pregnancy and I definitely haven't been eating more. If ya think about it though, I guess it makes sense since the high progesterone phase of your cycle is when you tend to bloat and put on weight anyway.

Overall, they're fine. You won't be on them forever, so its nothing that you can't deal with I don't think. As far as weight gain, just watch it. If it gets to be too much you may have to go to the old faithful condoms.
