I stopped taking the pill this past February. So I’ve been off for almost a year. My periods are super irregular (I skip several months), extremely painful (throwing up from the pain) and I’ve noticed more facial hair that I have to pluck with tweezers every day. It’s gross! Like dark thick hairs on my chin!

I used to have these issues before I went on the pill, when I was a teenager. I was on it for over ten years. The only time I took a break was when I tried to get pregnant with my ex husband. But it didn’t work.

Now I’m worried that there’s something wrong with me. Maybe I can’t get pregnant at all? Every time I mention it to my doctor she says it’s from coming off the pill. But it’s been so long now.

Are there any tests I can ask for to figure out whats going on?
