#9 - PCOS & Birth Control

PCOS Weight Loss
About this episode

Was birth control the first thing the doctor offered you after being diagnosed with PCOS? Most women with PCOS are told to take birth control and there are a lot of unanswered questions about the impact this has on the body!

On this episode of A Cyster & Her Mister, we talk about birth control and if it's a good option after being diagnosed with PCOS. We go over the side effects associated with the pill and the symptoms of post-pill syndrome & what you can do about it!

As always, we read a personal Win of the Week from a cyster who has been managing her PCOS like a boss! Feel free to submit your messages on Instagram for a podcast shout out!

Join us in The Cysterhood, a community of women learning how to manage PCOS & lose weight, Gluten and Dairy Free! http://bit.ly/The-Cysterhood
