Did Starting Birth Control Make You Emotional?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Nashville, TN

So I recently got diagnosed with PCOS a little shy of a week ago, and I started non-estrogen birth control to help regulate my cycles (the most recent period I was on lasted 2 months 😬) and it completely stopped the bleeding—thank goodness. I have however been feeling more emotional lately with no other symptoms. I do have depression and GAD, so maybe it’s affecting that? I’m not really sure. Has anyone else experienced this?
