Getting Off the Pill.. What Do I Expect?? Posted: 02-06-06 12:06pm


Hi: I am just thinking about getting off the pill. I have been taking it for about a year and a half now and I am wandering if anyone out there who has taken the pill and stopped... How did it affect you? I am most worried about getting acne when I stop. I don't have it currently and never have. Am I being realistic? Thanks so much!

Hey, when I went off the pill I didn't experience any ill side effects - I didn't get acne. The only difference was that my cycles went from 28 days to 23-24 days, and my periods were a little heavier. Hope this helped!

The first month off of the pill I had lots of cramping (not period cramps, it was a different kind of pain). I didn't break out or anything, but my face is definetly oily. It use to be normal to dry. I had to buy some absorbent pads to wipe my face during the day. My face also gets really hot and turns red, which just started when I got off the pill.

Hey. Im new to this and im checking it all out because I have alot of questions. Im thinking of getting off the pill soon because I dont wanna mess my chances up of getting pregnant when I want to. I have heard that it could mess it up and I dont wanna take a chance. I also have heard that its alot easier to get pregnant after you get off..Do any of you know if this is true?
