Did your skin break out after stopping birth control?
Reposting, trying to find a group that might have an answer for me!
My husband and I are having our wedding on 9/8. (We eloped, long story…)
We want to start TTC asap after that an I've read that it's easiest on your body if you stop taking BC after a full pack, instead of in the middle of a pack. (And my OB told me you can actually more fertile right after stopping BC.)
So that would put my first BC-free day on 9/1, and ovulation around 9/8. Which would be perfect.
BUT I've also read that your skin can go a little crazy after stopping BC, and I don't want to risk having any breakouts for the wedding. But from what I've seen on some forums, the skin problems don't pop up for 1–3 months after stopping.
Can anyone confirm that? Will I be zit-free for my wedding if it's a week after stopping BC?
(Further background: I never had skin problems before BC other than the odd pimple here and there. I take really good care of my skin and eat clean most of the time, limit dairy and sugar, etc, so I'm hoping I can avoid any issues.)
