I stopped taking my BCP in October and..
everything was just fine and dandy until January. I guess my body took some time to adjust. Besides from having an ovarian cyst I noticed I am breaking out EVERYWHERE. My face is horrible and so is my back and my chest  I never even had pimples like this before going on BCP, or ever in my life really. Has this happened to anyone? Will it go away? Is it just my body's reaction to stopping BCP? It seems like no matter how many showers I take and no matter what I do it is getting worse. Even DH noticed yesterday and was like "OMG what happened to your back?!"

Re: I stopped taking my BCP in October and..
I just posted last week that I have been breaking out a lot more too. Same thing, I stopped in November. And just noticed the breakouts (around my mouth not my back) this past month. I've seen some improvement this month, but I think I am going to break out more now that I'm off the pill. I never had acne, but I did occasionally break out pre BCP. I was on Ortho TriCyclen LO, which is supposed to help your skin, so I really had no break outs that whole time. Now I guess they're back. Sorry you are going through this too.
How did you know you had a cyst?

It stinks! Sorry too I was never like this when I was a teenager and now I am! 
I had alot of pain and I ended up calling my obgyn and telling them I had to come in immediately. They did an internal sonogram and found a cyst on my left ovary. Of course all of my pain was on the right side so I have actually still been going to doctors to try and figure out what is causing that. I think its a disc issue, but thats a whole other problem! I swear I had zero issues on BCP and now that I am off I feel like im falling apart!
