So, I’m 25 and have been on the pill for a little over 6 years. Lately, I’ve been feeling like it has been messing with my body, and I’ve already tried switching brands with different doses of hormones. Lately I’ve had a super low sex drive, mood swings, and for a short time, I was having frequent bacterial infections. I’ve read that being on birth controls pills for a long time can have negative effects, and I think I might be experiencing the start of those! I just don’t want to screw up anything down there and not be able to have my own children eventually. Has anyone gone off the pill? What was it like for you? I have 1 or 2 months left of this round, then I’m planning on not going back for a refill. I know I should probably talk to my doctor, but I just want some quick opinions and experiences!
