I heard my name? So fun fact: your doctor likely prescribed birth control to accompany your accutane because the possible birth defects are baaaaaad, but as long as you abstain (or only do outercourse) until your birth control is effective, you’re not hurting anything. You’ll likely have an adjustment to both medications, which may include irregular bleeding, but from what I’ve seen, it’ll likely be easier on your body (less irregular bleeding) if you start the birth control with your period.
I have to start birth control today bc of accutane but I HATE the idea that it’s going to fuck with my period that’s 10 days away. My period is THE MOST REGULAR and consistent thing in my life (always 32 days apart on the dot 6 days long) and I feel like I’m going to fuck up the hormones in my body by starting today and my period not coming for then 21 days
