Hi! Sometimes when starting a new prescription, they say to give it about 2-3 months while your body is adjusting to it. Not all prescriptions help overnight. In my experience, not all b.c. has helped my endo and I have needed excision surgery a few times but now I’m on a b.c. that regulates everything decently but it took a few months for my current b.c. to make a difference

It'll probably take longer than a week or two to work. I'd give it at least a couple months if I were you
