So I’ve been on the pill since I was 17, I’m 22 now. And since I started the pill my weight has been on a steady incline, I’m talking like 60lbs in 5 years. Not to mention it’s been extremely difficult for me to lose weight. I’ve cut out carbs, counted calories, intermittent fasting.. you name it, I’ve tried it (paired with going to the gym for an hour every day). All thyroid labs have been normal (as Thyroid issues are something that runs in the family). Recently I’ve been considering stopping it since I feel like it’s playing a part in why it’s so difficult to lose weight. My boyfriend and I don’t necessarily want babies right now, however condoms are much cheaper than providing for another human.

I’m just wondering what the pros and cons are of coming off of it? What did you experience?
