It usually takes a few weeks to balance out. If u hate it hate it fr and even a day more is too much go ahead and quit, but often (not always!) symptoms resolve after your body adjusts in a few weeks.

Give it some time. This is all normal during the adjustment, just like it’s normal during your luteal phase. It usually passes. If it doesn’t, you can always stop or switch methods later. Hang in there!

so stop taking it. seriously. i stopped talking it cold turkey like a year ago and i’ve never looked back. it was making me miserable and my mental health wasn’t the best before but like i had suicidal ideations EVERY SINGLE DAY. it was too much.

i’m so sorry bestie i know it sucks but i do encourage you to try to stick it out for at least one month more, and if it’s not any shorter (mine went from like 10 days to 6 days, hopefully it’s only 4-5 next time) then talk to your doctor about quitting or switching
