[quote=Anonymous]I’m soon to be 43 and started taking Lo loestrin fe about 2.5 months ago in an attempt to help my perimenopause symptoms (night sweats, brain fog, irritability, etc). However, since taking it, I feel like it’s making my symptoms even worse! I’m having night sweats every night (as opposed to just around my period), more irritable and tired, and I’ve gained a few pounds because I’m hungrier and eating more. I’ve also started getting random headaches. And I haven’t had a period or any breakthrough bleeding since starting (although I’m only in month 3). Has this happened to anyone else (worse symptoms)? Has anyone switched to higher dose BCPs like Yaz and had it help? That’s what my OBGYN originally prescribed until I specifically requested Lo loestrin instead. I’m thinking I’ll stop taking it tomorrow and find a practitioner who will prescribe me HRT (my OBGYN would not because I’m still getting periods, 😩). [/quote]
