Thanks so much for that list of things. The amount of advice from both the sexual health clinic and the GP are so limited. And also, they always insist everything must be caused by an STI...I know people get them, but geeze, I've had periods like this since they started and I've been tested, and I've TOLD them this. BLAH. I do stack my HBC, asked today at the clinic if I could stack for three months worth (before they said only two) and they said no problem whatsoever, so I'm going to do that (only problem then is my pregnancy anxiety, whole 'nother kettle of fish lol). I still get minor cramps around when I should have my withdrawal bleed (my body is evil and wants me to suffer...-_-;).
Thank you s much for your support <3 It is so comforting to know I'm not the only one in a position like this. I think the thing is there has been significant improvement from the meds they've given me, just not on the mental health and fatigue side of things. I think I'll make an appointment with my GP and get my levels checked like archangelbeth suggests below, and go from there. If it is something to do with thyroid/ferritin/etc. then it can be sorted more easily...course I'll have to bother them incessantly again probably, but meh. -_-;
