#hormonal imbalance
Meds haven’t been working right ever since I started back on birth control. I didn’t even finish the whole pack and I still feel fucked up.
I’m pissed I wasn’t given the pill I requested. It’s the one I’d been taking for almost 5 years, and the one I know doesn’t mess me up, but because it increases my risk of stroke (thanks again Zoloft for the weight gain!), I was given Lutera. Lutera has levonorgestrel, which is the same hormone that’s in Mirena. So it’s no wonder I’m fucked up again.
Besides destroying what little progress I’d made with my mental health, it also caused me to gain the weight I’d lost, and it made me break out even worse. It also gave me heart palpitations that still keep coming back. Mirena did the same thing.
Just give me the fucking pill I ask for next time.
MeetEstrogen, a hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and secondary sex characteristics such as breasts and wide hips.
Estrogen is made when the hypothalamus inside the brain releases Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone, which prompts the pituitary gland to squirt out Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone into the bloodstream, where they travel the the ovary, to, well… stimulate some follicles in the gonads! Egg follicles inside the ovary make estrogen, which also goes into your bloodstream. During the menstrual cycle, estrogen triggers ovulation and helps build up the uterine walls.
