I'm in a very similar situation as you. do you plan on having more children? have you sought out the help of an endocrinologist? I cannot take b/c pills, but also have hormonal fluctuations. My endocrinologist (an IVF dr.) worked with my levels to get them normalized, it took several months (I had a baby over a year ago and breast fed, so that contributed), but I think I'm finally at a normal level. I take the hormones he prescribes but they are not b/c pills so I have to use alternate b/c methods. I think having bipolar disorder makes PMS so much worse.
take care, judy
