Was on the pill most of 10 years...I went
off it 1 year ago..Still haven't gotten my
period. At first I lost a couple pounds,
happier, but now weight is extremely
difficult to keep off no matter what...Is
this b/c my hormones are out of whack or
what...Any feedback is greatly appreciated
How old were you when you went on it and
were your periods normal at that time

Why did you go off the pill?Was it your
choice or did you have a medical reason?I
know I went off in april this year after
13 years and i'm still not regular.My doc
said my body needed time to regulate
itself.I know I need to be patient,but
sometimes,my period comes every 2
weeks!Arghhhhhh!Have you discussed this
with your doctor?If you are in my age
group(over 40),you could be what is called
perimenopausal-that means your body is
getting ready for menopause.It is very
common to have irregular periods,weight
gain,hot flashes and many of the other
symptoms of menopause.Blood work needs to
be done to check hormone levels to see if
this is indeed the case.Please see your
doctor to get checked out!Patty

i went on it at 15, off at 25....Just was
sick of being on something for soo long
and wanted to see how my body would
react...At first lost a little
weight..Much happier..But now everything
seems to be hard...My periods were never
irregular when I was on it either
