I have taken it for a week now, and it really has seemed to mellow out my PCOS rage, which is good. Can't tell a difference in acne yet, but maybe it will clear up. One thing it has done that was super awesome - my period was so much lighter and not as long this past week. Used to be, I had to use an ultra tampon and a pad. It was weird just needing regulars this month. Kinda cool. I start my BCP tomorrow. So, I hope that it helps.

Well, my BCP decided to Jumpstart my period an entire week before the inactive pills. And, I have developed "pizza face" this week on one side. I can't tell if it's from an allergy to detergent - because I lay on my husbands chest on that side and watch Netflix - or if it's the hormones. I have a giant cystic acne horn on my forehead, too....and one on my chin. I am so frustrated. I feel so hideous today. Absolutely HATE PCOS!

Anyway. My doc changed me to Yasmin instead of Loestrin. Hopefully, that will help. I'm probably going to ask about increasing the spironolactone. We shall see. All I know is that I haven't looked this bad since high school.
