I’m 47 and inching ever so close to perimenopause. I told my doctor the last time I saw her I feel crazy a lot of the time with mood swings and lashing out over the silliest things. I’ve skipped my period months at a time, which I’m not sad about at all lol. I’m gaining weight although I do light exercise almost every day. My doctor suggested I try birth control to help with some of that. I’ve never taken it because I’m a lesbian and never had to consider it for anything. I’d really like to feel a little more even again emotionally and mentally. What are y’all’s experiences with BC for perimenopause early symptoms? I’m about at my wits end with my mood swings and I’m about to tell her I want to try it, but I’d like to see what y’all have to say. Thanks!
