Off The Pill - Have You Noticed These Changes?
After 9 years of using birth control pills, I stopped taking them a week ago. (I'm now in the process of finding a back-up to condoms - maybe VCF? - but that is another story. Ha!)
It has only been a few days but I already notice changes. My thinking seems clearer - less brain fog - and I seem to have more energy. Yesterday morning, I felt so, so sad for no rational reason, but that went away after a few hours. I have had mild tension headaches almost every day. I have also been perspiring a lot and it is stinky! (almost unheard of for me, so it makes me very self conscious).
I have been taking liquid chlorophyll and eating lots of sprouts in a beginning effort to cleanse my body and try to rebalance my hormones. I am hoping that the hair loss and lethargy I have experienced for the past several years both reverse. And if I could lose a few
pounds now that I'm off the Pill, that would be fantastic, too.
I'm apprehensive about what other symptoms I might experience in the next few months as my body readjusts. I have read of mood swings, INCREASED hair loss, and heavy periods.
Has anyone here gone off The Pill and noticed these kinds of symptoms?
Thanks for your input,
