I've been on various contraceptive pills now for most of the last 12 years except when I was pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Oh, and except for a few months when I tried the mirena coil and then had it removed again. The thing is, although I've never had any huge, obvious side effects, there's lots of little things that I know are effected by hormones and I'd love to see how my body would respond to being totally hormone free for a few months. So I'm thinking of stopping my pill for at least 3 months. Will my skin clear up? Will I finally loose that half a stone I absolutely can not shift after DS was born? Will my sex drive rocket? Or is this all just wishful thinking and we'll be forced to "other" methods of contraceptiong for nothing? Has anyone else done this and if so what were your experiences?
