26 year old female who suffered a miscarraige in January. Was 10 weeks along. Had been getting progesterone injections weekly from the beginning of pregnancy because levels were low. When miscarriage happened, naturally the injections ended also. From that time I have been sufferering from anxiety and some panic attacks. Something I never experienced before. I was also on the pill right before I got pregnant. My question is, if I were to go back on the pill now do you think it might balance me out more hormonaly? I don't know if it is the hormonal imbalance that is causing the anxiety or what. I was on the pill for years before I became pregnant. BTW, I am going to see my dr. in a few hours but I just wanted some more feedback from the ladies. Thank you!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. The answer to your question depends on your hormone levels when you are not pregnant. If your hormone levels are normal now, you probably won't need birth control to regulate them. If your hormone levels are askew now, birth control may help even them out.
The anxiety you are suffering might be due to your recent loss. Talk to your doctor about how you feel and the two of you can decide on a course to follow. Therapy might help or medication may be needed. I hope this helps somewhat and again, I'm sorry for you loss.

If you were to have symptoms related to low hormone levels, anxiety and panic attacks would not be one of them. It's just not associated with birth control or reproductive hormones like progesterone.
Your anxiety might be from the miscarriage. I am really sorry to hear about your loss. Even at 10 weeks I know you had some hopes and dreams for your little one.
So, to answer your question, going on birth control will not bring balance to your moods or dispel your anxiety. Instead, take a quiet moment soon to sit down and think about what might be causing this. Sometimes it's not what you think, or it might not be that obvious, but something is bothering you for sure to be causing those symptoms.
Best of luck...and take care.

Honey, talk to the doc who prescribed you this BC asap!! If the tablet is inflicting anxiousness, you're the one one who can verify if it's unhealthy adequate so that you can stop taking it. If it is sending you over the edge, then sure! Discontinue taking it. But wouldn't have unprotected sex, without doubt -- get a backup system so as right away. Call your health care professional, tell him about your anxiety, and ask if he can prescribe you anything else. Your mental wellbeing is predominant, and your health care provider will undoubtedly be willing to work with you.

Your period will more often than not come back as quickly as you discontinue, but if your anxiety is dangerous enough, your interval could also be the simpler option! Just right success!

You should see an Endocrinologist to find out.
Normally the kind of hormonal imbalance you speak of does not cause anxiety. It would be an imbalance somewhere else.
I have a hormonal imbalance myself and I did not experience what you are experiencing.
