Birth Control Hangover

Jo

Someone please tell me I’m not alone.

I’m desperate.

After being on birth control for over 12 years, I finally stopped at the end of August since my husband and I are now TTC.

Since then, I’ve been an emotional rollercoaster. My highs are high and my lows are low. And I’m so easily on the brink of tears for the littlest of things. Seriously.. I’ll cry over anything these days.

I know in the moment that my emotional responses are silly overreactions but even with that awareness, there is little I feel I can do to control it.

And my poor husband! Bless his heart for being so patient and kind. He knows this has been hard for me and I can be so awful. He doesn’t deserve that.

Am I alone on this one?? Did anyone else have trouble coming off birth control? And how long did it last?? I’m really hoping everything evens out and that this is temporary.

I can’t stand who I am right now.
