Off birth control! Went crazy
Hey all,
I went off birth control because I wasn't taking it regularly enough and figured it was worst to barely take it than to just come off of it all together. However, when I went off of it..:my body literally went crazy...the first two weeks all I wanted to do was eat nonstop.
Then I broke out like crazy all over my face, chest and back. I was so moody, I was emotional and didn't get my periods I gained like 10 pounds.
It has now been almost 8 months and I am still seeing side effects. I only just started getting my period regularly about three months ago. So I didn't get a period at all for the first six months! - and there is no way I'm pregnant. I still have back acne but the chest and face have cleared up a lot I am also feeling much better (even though I am still seeing symptoms)
I just thought it was nuts to go through that..has anyone else experienced similar symptoms when going off birth control?
Also, I saw two doctors in the process and have been tested for polycystic ovaries and it came back negative. My doctors said there isn't anything you can really do.
