My blood has been tested for the following…I DON’T have Aids/hiv, lymes disease, hypothyroid, diabetes…

I have had an eating disorder combo of anorexia and lately bulimia (but not frequently throwing up, just sometimes) for most of my adult life, but was always regular before…I started having a majority of my problems when i took birth control and stopped after 4 days. I had some spotting and then never saw my period again.
However, I had the other symptoms before the birth control

any clue what could be wrong with me? I don’t have health insurance and the doctors I’ve been able to see are kinda grasping at straws and not helping much.
I had a clinic throw provera at me but I’M DONE TAKING HORMONES until I get an FSH test and seeing how the birth control only accelerated my symptoms I’m not too keen on taking anymore more meds or hormones until I’m tested or somebody has a general direction of what could be going on with me.

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions..

I started on a new birth control about a month and a half ago. I’ve noticed that I’ve been incredibly on edge since a week or so after I started it. But during the week I’m taking the placebo pills, it seems to back off a bit. My family does have a history of anxiety disorders – but while I do worry too much, I’ve been lucky enough that mine never crossed the line into an actual disorder. Lately, though, I think it’s getting close. Could the birth control be causing this extra anxiety?

Does the hormones from the birth control increase the womens risk of developng breast cancer?

I’m 17 and am taking Loestrin but I was wondering if any other teenagers were taking birth control that limited the amount of periods they had per year.

I want to but I don’t know if it’s entirely healthy for me at this age.
Oh no it’s not that I’m in pain.

And does anyone have bad mood swings on the pill they’re on?

I do have the thalassemia anemia sx: headaches every day and shortness of breath. I wanted to know how serious this is and is this something i should worry about. I was also advised to take birth control to produce blood?? that worries me.. can u please help me understand what is going on..
