Question: Coming off BCP

[Jewels]

I haven't started coming off BCP yet, but just wondering if anyone else who has come off them felt emotion wise... Did stopping the hormones drastically change your moods? If so, how long did the mood fluxuation last?

 

[Vickie]

It didn't affect my mood at all until AF showed. Part of that was because I'd forgotten how crappy my periods were when not on BCP though.

 

[leeanne]

I was the same as well. Actually, the one blessing is coming off the BC made me lose the awful headaches I had when my period was about to come on.

I felt better off them than on! Didn't notice any emotional change at all, if anything I feel happier now

 

[bird24]

I'm better off them.....marvelon made me so emotional and moody xx

 

[Jewels]

Thanks girlies, that is very reassuring to hear!

My moods were terrible on and off the bcp. maybe a little worse off but I think thats probably just me. I had nothing else change good or bad though except my cycle.

 

[MimiUK]

I am much better off them than on for sure!

 

[loopylew]

im never going back onto bcp until ive had all the children i want, its messed my body up and im still not ovulating right etc 7 months down the line of ttc

 

[Alchemist]

also better off them. i sometimes think they contributed to my depression (i was so weapy on yasmin)

 

[Jewels]

Wow thanks girls! Now I kinda can't wait to get off the things!

I'm worse off of them. I came off in November and I've been hysterically crying for 3 days before my period every month. My mother has talked me into going to see a doctor about it I'm actually that bad. Also, I've never had acne in my life and as soon as I came off my face broke out badly.

I'm sorry things aren't going well Rae.. Hopefully your doctor will be able to help and you'll feel much better soon!

I tend to agree with Rae. I get worse PMT and my moods have gone all over the place. The pill regulated my cycle and my moodswings. I like the idea of not having crap in my system though x

 

[Jewels]

Well before I went on birth control, I don't remember having many emotional issues (wow it's been 9 years). Hopefully what I've read is true - your cycle is supposed to go back to the way it was before you started BCP....
