Slynd and Stimulant Effectiveness?
I’m about to start my second month of slynd for my PMDD and I’m liking it a lot! However, I have been spotting brown for the last few days which is know is normal especially at the start of birth control. I started spotting at the time I would have started my regular period. But before starting slynd, during my luteal phase, my stimulants (and most of my meds) weren’t as effective. My doctor said this is common bc of the rise in progesterone and me having PMDD.
I decided to go on Birth control to help elevate my PMDD symptoms, but due do having a mutation with my BRCA 2 gene, BCs with estrogen in them aren’t really safe for me. Which led to the choice of Slynd!
It is helping with my PMDD, but I feel as tho my stimulants aren’t as effective, similar to during my luteal phase. Is the Slynd causing like a “perpetual” luteal phase? bc it’s raising my levels of (synthetic) progesterone to stop ovulation, causing my meds to be less effective?
Mostly just wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms :)
