Hi, i got the bar in my arms two weeks ago as my doctor believed it would help regulate my periods as i have polysistic ovaries, but i recieved my period a day and a half ago and I have never been in so much pain, really bad back pain to the point it is getting hard to walk, really bad pain on the left side of my abdomen aswell as headaches,diarrhea and nausea

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Most cases of hormonal contraception would normally cause a decrease in symptoms associated with a period but persons react differently to medication.
Paracetamol can be used to help with the headaches.
Peptobismol would help with the nausea and diarrhea. You should hold solid food till there is a 4 hour window with no symptoms.
Since you do not seem to respond well to this contraceptive, it would be best to speak to your doctor about getting an alternative.
I hope this helps
