I'm very concerned but I went to my Gyno for blood work and it came out fine. He said its normal but after a whole year I'm kinda worried. Maybe if it does cause cycling then a stabilizer can help bring you down? I don't know but maybe bring it up to pdoc. They can give you more insight.

I also started it after I got my period because of severe acne and stuck with it because of PCOS developed later in life. I'm also want to wean off it because of the risk of DVT (I'm only 22 but it still scares me) and honestly it could be contributing to my cycling. My pdoc is so confused by my rapid cycling she just wants to put me on lithium but I really can't risk the weight gain
