I’m 2 years off BC and my cycles have been pretty normal, my last cycle was 40 days though and super heavy on the first day which I’m on now. My knees are hurting and have had a headache on and off. My biggest problem right now though is my lack of motivation and focus towards school/ work related tasks. Anyone have experience with this ? Hope everyone is staying safe with this whole virus!

Hey! I’m also 2 years off and can relate, but I feel like most of it is situational because this pandemic really threw my entire daily routine off. I feel so unmotivated because my college is completely online for the rest of the semester and I live in New York, the epicenter of the virus. These past few days I’ve been feeling a bit off again, possibly because I have so much free time and I’m PMSing. i usually get the anxiety symptoms right before my period and I literally convince myself like I’m gonna develop some mental issue or something lol. It sounds almost funny as I type it out but when I get stuck in my thoughts it’s so overwhelming. I’m hoping we can all get through this especially with everything going on!

Yeah this pandemic has thrown off my routine as well! Plus the lack of vitamin D from staying inside all days probably isn’t doing any of us any favors. But I totally get what you mean about convincing yourself you’re going to develop serious mental issues. That happens to me every time I have anxiety, I just feel like it’s all gonna crumble down again. I wish we could start some kind of group chat or discord so we could all talk more freely. It’s so nice to have people who understand exactly what I’m going through.

I agree, being indoors 24/7 has left me with so much time to overthink. I mean I’m not feeling as bad as when this all started 2 years ago but ever since then I’m just so hyperaware of every emotion now, to the point where it makes me panic about ending up back at square one. I’m glad we’re all not alone though, but I do wish we didn’t have to go through it at all :/ hope you’re doing okay!!

Hey! I’ve been doing okay, not my best but I’m holding up lol I’ve kinda been overthinking a lot since quarantining began and plus my hormones are really off recently. How are you? I hope you’re all doing well

I’m doing okay as far as anxiety goes. Not in a constant panic these days which is nice. However I feel super fatigued and just very blah. Quarantine is really taking its toll.

Feeling discouraged because I’ve been dealing with this for longer than most, experiencing a set back so I’m just in a very negative headspace right now. Hope everyone else is doing okay!

I almost don’t want to share to not scare anyone else on here but I truly believe everyone’s timing is different and I haven’t changed much of my lifestyle in order to help. I was feeling okay not 100% but still had my small bits of anxiety it was something I was just learning to live with and then about a month ago I had a bit of anxiety during my cycle and this month as well and it felt just like it did at the beginning. I had always kinda kept to myself and never shared the extremities of how I felt or what my OCD thoughts were but this time I told my boyfriend everything, he was honestly more understanding than I could’ve ever imagined but of course now my mind has gone haywire and I think I’m unhappy. I’m coming up on 3 years :( please for anyone whose reading this do not read into my time frame too much as it might just all have been my own doing for not handling things properly. I still have fight In me though and I’m trying to get out of this and remind myself that I have been through this before!

Do you perhaps have PCOS?
Everyone's journey is different I've noticed that I still get physical anxiety during fertile window which is very mild compared to the beginning and is something that I recall experiencing even before BC but just ignored it as being part of the crappy relationship I was in ... emotional and mental abuse scenario but on reflecting to that time and comparing it with now... I see the pattern and realised that there has been an imbalance for a long time I just didn't know it because I didn't know better.
So I've been researching and discovered that oestrogen dominance (the amount of oestrogen is higher to the amount of progesterone) does cause this anxiety especially at the time that oestrogen is highest which is ovulation week. to confirm this at my regular gynea appointment earlier this year my Dr confirmed I had fibroids which is a normal occurrence with oestrogen dominance. So, I have been on a progesterone cream for the past 3 months and the first thing I noticed was the lack of crippling period pain that would have me in bed every month unable to move or function because of the intensity .... my flow is also not as heavy and the clots have shrunk too... my breasts still get overly painful 2 weeks prior ....which tells me something isn't quite ok yet.
Ok so let me know about whether you have PCOS ... :-) sending you a big hug from chilly South Africa!

It’s something I never looked into so I’m definitely going to do my research. Like you said I have my mood swings around my fertile window for sure so it sounds like it could very much be my case. I don’t have painful periods but I do usually get sore boobs like two weeks before! Sometimes bad headaches and nausea so fun lol! I thought it was weird but again didn’t do my research sounds so freaking ridiculous of me!!! I’m sorry to hear about your crappy relationship and wish you nothing but lots of love and happiness as I’m sure you deserve it. Sending you lots of love and positive vibes from sunny Miami, FL! Tell me a little about your journey! How long have you been going through this?
