Going Off the Pill...what Can I Expect? Posted: 11-18-04 18:33pm
I've been on the pill for almost 3 months,
and in all honesty I have noticed no
changes in my periods - in fact the only
thing the pill did for me was make me gain
6 pounds. Yippie o.O
but at this point I have no way to get
more of the pill without anyone knowing,
so I have no choice but to go off it.
As of right now I am in the placebo pills
and in the beginning of my period. Now I
know that if I miss 3 pills at least, i'll
get my period. Does this mean that 3 days
after the placebos are through i'm going
to bleed again?
.........................
And will I feel any "rebounds" from
abruptly stopping, i.E. Nausea, vomiting,
weight gain, etc.?

Three months is not a very long time to be
on the pill. The most you may notice are
some mood changes (this can be a very good
thing. When I stopped taking the pill, I
was much happier and didn't get upset by
every little thing). Your period may do
some funny things as it readjusts to your
natural hormone levels, but that 's
probably about it. You might experience
a little headache...It really varies from
person to person. But you shouldn't have
much to worry about.

I also just got off the pill. I did not
start after missing the first three pills,
in fact, I have not had a period since
getting off of it for two months. Please
let me know when you started so I can
compare i'm getting kind of worried. I
did not have any side effects of getting
off the pill except for no period that I
wasn't expecting for so long. So let me
know if you have had any.

the pill?
