A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I live in a third world country where there is a lot of meddling from everyone in everyones lives, sometimes they mean well, other times they just want to know peoples business just because.

Has anyone been able to find birth control pills that don't cause severe mood changes? I'm usually really happy and upbeat.

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member
