Family planning and OCD

[Precious2023]

Does any family planning (contraceptive) make OCD worse?

And does it interferes with OCD treatment?

By 'family planning' I take it that you're referring to the contraceptive pill. I took it for many years and felt very well on it - and it certainly didn't make my OCD worse. If anything, it helped, as it dampened down my PMS (premenstrual syndrome) so I didn't feel so bad before a period.

I have to say that we are all different, and what works for me might not work for you. But I should be surprised if the contraceptive pill makes OCD worse.

Alright thanks alot.

I have gone for the implant type of contraceptive (nexplaxon).....
