I did talk to a gyno about this today and she was Not Helpful - “here, try this OTHER oral contraceptive with the same estradiol dose and the same dose of a different progesterone” I feel like this is going to do fuck-all

@psistarpsiii@tacobelllabs.net Don’t discount it. I was once switch to a pill with the same doses and a different progesterone and it made me feel like utter crap. Not the direction I wanted to go, but it was definitely different.

@psistarpsiii@tacobelllabs.net I’m in a similar situation, and just got prescribed a different brand of pill. I’m definitely going to follow this thread.

@psistarpsiii@tacobelllabs.net Can you get your GP refer you for blood tests, or just draw your blood themselves and send it to a lab? In some countries, one can just walk into a lab and order tests for themselve for a small fee. In much of continental Europe, Synlab (formerly Quattro Labs) offers such services, and they tend to be reasonably good and reasonably cheap (because most of continental Europe has aggressive public health price bargaining bodies).
