Hi ladies,

I am coming off the pill this week (take last one tomorrow!!). Am very excited but also a little anxious. Wondered if anyone had any inspiring stories about coming off the pill ie: lost lots of weight/ felt more chilled out / increased sex drive etc etc.......

Am not coming off to ttc immediately but it is part of the plan in the coming months.

He he...there seems to be a theme here! It is OK though, we've stocked up on the condoms....

I found the mood swings got better. And I'd always had a bit of nausea with the pill so it was nice to get rid of that. I had one normal period after stopping the pill then I didn't have another one for nine months...

Oh....maybe I am getting my hopes up for nothing! I've been on since I was 17, now 25, so I'm just really looking forward to having normal periods - rather than pill induced bleeding.
Also I seem to get quite bad mood swings lately so was hoping that might disappear......

Have to say I didn't experience any of those - but fell for DS 6 weeks after last pill. Good luck x
