Effects of going off oral contraceptives?

I think that's normal. I went off birth control almost 2 years ago (however i went back on it 6 months later and i'm still on it). I went off it cuz hormonal b/c doesnt work well for me-it makes me sooo emotional and just messes with my body. But, after i went off it felt like i was still on it. Like all those symptoms didn't disapear. So I went back on it cuz i figured if i'm going to fee like this anyways, i might as well be on it. However, I got a new Obgyn aroudn this time and they had me try lots of different brands of b/c. Although it's still not perfect, I've found one that works a lot better than ones in the past. Ive also heard it can take 3 months for your body to return to normal after going on bcp's. I'd give it a little more time and I'm sure you'll be fine. Also be careful, the month after you first go off them is when youre most fertile! good luck, hope you feel better :)

I've never been on BC, but my sister is. She went off them at one point and she was EVIL!!!! I swear, she was moody before, but damn. She said she had cramps, bloating, highly irregular periods, heavier flow at first, weight fluctuation, etc. I just avoided her, lol. Hers lasted for a few weeks. I don't think I could do pills or any kind of hormone introduction. Don't really have to b/c my guy's getting fixed next month... Blessed Be

I did and I reckon it was a good 2 or 3 weeks before I didn't notice it anymore. But it took just as long for me to get use to them as they worked into my system. I hated those things btw, they seemed to have messed me up and triggered all sorts of wacky things in me, the biggest was anxiety attacks.

just few months i got copper t for myself instead of pills and i am better than before ,when i was on pills i had higher BP ,now it has come down to normal ,earlier also i ghad no mood swings and cramps so.....

I am now on monthly period.It has been nearly a week,but I have had to bear the badly mood,worse stomach...I have no idea to do with it.My buddy told me to take drink with brown sugar.I did as she said.And I seem to be better.I did not know if it is about my mind.But i never took oral contraceptives.I think it is harmful to body.

To answer the pills part: yes, I had trouble when I stopped for a while. It took, let's say, a month for me to feel better, but in an other hand, after that, I really felt better, lost weight too, and got much better sensations for the, you know what... I have hereditary cholesterol so the pill is really not indicated for me, and maybe that's why I started to feel better. I take the minimum dosage but, still I am not convince it is totally harmless for your body in the long ruen. As for the Meyer thing, I had an episod once and I totally sympathise. I rememeber I couldn't even turn my head, I had vertigo and nausea, horrible. But I was given a shot and it went well after that. It was only minor access so I can only imagine what you're going through! The only thing you can do is keep a diary of your symptoms so you give a maximum of information to your doctor. Sometimes, it is importnant to know when the symptoms are the strongets, if it is related to say eating or anything. Try to collect as many information as you can, even if they seems irrelevant to you. That's my father (the doctor)'s advice.

I got off the pill last year and since then I have had excessive weight gain, AND this time i cant seem to get it off. My perionds are now very off. I never know when i will start and i have had too many freak outs worrying i am pregnant bc of it.

I have almost been off bcp for two months now. I was a bit more moody once coming off them but am back to normal now...whatever that is, haha! I was also a lot more tired and had a bit more cramps than usual but that's also back to normal now in the 2nd month off of them. I'll never go back to using bcp again. I hate them! The bcp's made everything twice as bad as usual. I thought they were supposed to have the opposite effect, oh well.

oh i haven't experience that it is because i'm really afraid of taking oral contraceptives it is because i've heard lots of negative thoughts about contraceptives and basically the reason why i'm afraid of taking all of them is that cancers runs in our family and i'm afraid of taking anything that psychologically i am thinking might trigger something abnormal on me hehehe sounds strange really but because of that thought i prefer to undergo ligation after my third baby.

to avoid the HIV, please use the contraceptives
