what changes have you noticed since coming off the pill?
Hi Ladies
Just wondering if you can tell me what happened once you came off the pill? I have been on it so long I'm not sure what to expect! Specifically, I'm curious as to what to expect as regards my weight, skin, emotions and libido! I have been on yasmin for the last 3 years and prior to that was on femodene for about13 years. Today it is 1 week exactly since I took my last pill so I'm kinda curious as to what the next few weeks will hold lol!!

I think everyone has quite different reactions to it - some girls really seem to notice big changes and others don't. I've been off the pill for about 5 weeks now and I've been pretty lucky. My skin reacted a bit - I had a few spots the first 2 weeks after I came off the pill but since that my skin as been the same as always. I had cramps and back pain for about 2 weeks (between weeks 1 and 3 off the pill) which I put down to my body trying to start working again!! My weight has stayed the same luckily and I was maybe a bit overly emotional for a couple of weeks but that has gone back to normal too. I think my libido has gone up, I hadn't really noticed that it had changed whilst I was on the pill as I've always had a, shall we say 'healthy' libido, but it does seem to have gone up more!!! I was also lucky in that I got back into a regular cycle of 26 days which I'm really pleased about. AF was a lot heavier that when I was on the pill, but it always used to be heavy before I was on it so I guess it's gone back to normal too. Obviously I've only had a few weeks off it so there could be more changes to come but so far I feel really good and it's all gone pretty smoothly.
Good luck, hope your body reacts well too!!!.x.
BUT - all worth it for a baby at some time in the near future I hope!!

My skin and weight (sadly!) have remained the same! But I did notice a massive change in my libido - my husband wishes I'd come off the pill years ago
I think it's really interesting how the pill totally controls your body - it's quite scary really. Only had one AF since coming off the pill at the start of September so nowhere near being back to 'normal' yet.
