 Side Effects of coming off the Pill 
Has anyone experienced any side effects after stopping the Pill?  I feel really weepy lately, and it's uncharacteristic of me.  Just wondering if it may be due to hormonal changes after coming off the Pill...

 Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill 
I think I lost a few pounds   but got acne   (it was temporary though and went back to normal after a month or two)

 Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill 
Hmmm.. so maybe I'm just emotional and it has nothing to do with the pill.  Thanks for the info!

 Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill 
I did get emotional when Iwent off last December.  I also gained about 3-4 pounds, got some acne.  It was awful.  
  I was on BC for over 2 years, and maybe it was because I didn't remember AF symptoms, but to me they seemed to come back stronger-cramps, bloating, my boobs still get porn star like.  
  I think everyone is different though :)

 Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill 
I thought you gained weight going ON the pill, not OFF.  Great, something else to look forward to...

  My body was backwards!  I lost weight going on the pill and gained when I went off.   Go figure!

 Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill 
I experienced some heavy duty symptoms - so much so that I was convinced I was pregnant the first two months off the pill.  My cycle became REALLY whacky and I was an emotional wreck (I remember crying in the costume store because DH picked out a costume that I didn't like   ).  It's normal... should take a few months for your body to regulate itself again.

  Thanks.  I find myself ready to cry at the silliest things.

  Me too!  
  It was quite the shock to my system.
  I found I was much LESS emotional off the pill than on.  I'm realy sensitive to estrogen, apparently.
  Maybe it depends on the kind of pill.

 Re: Side Effects of coming off the Pill 
my first period off the pill S-U-C-K-E-D! 
  I broke out - I was very emotional and PISSY like you couldn't believe....   I forgot how crappy my period was off the pill.
