getting off birth control

Hi! I've been on birth control pills for 10 years now and I've decided that after next week when I get my period- I am going to stop taking my pills. I do not want to get pregnant but I want to see how my body reacts without them because I believe the pills have made me bloated and gained weight. Also I think they gave me a low sex drive. I Initially went on the pill for cramps and acne. Do you think the cramps will come back? Will I feel less bloated getting off the pill? I would love to hear some of your personal experiences with getting off birth control because I'm really nervous doing so! Thanks!!
