Stopping birth control

So I was on birth control for 3.5 years and decided to go off of it and started ovulation tracking instead. I felt like they were tiny depression causing pills, I constantly felt miserable & anxious and I gained about 35 pounds fml.

Im pretty happy with my decision but I wanted to hear some of the real side effects & what anyone else experienced after stopping birth control. I’ve heard of people losing the same amount of weight they gained? Has this happened to anyone here?

I’m one week off & I already feel so much better and my mind is so much clearer 🌸
