How did you feel after you came off the pill?

I've read a lot of posts about coming off the pill and AF getting regular but I just want to know how you felt and how your body reacted? I've heard that you generally feel a lot happier but suffer more from totm pains. What has your experience been like?

I came off the pill about a year ago after spending 15years+ on it.
My anxiety has decreased but I get the most crippling ovulation pain plus blinding headaches (bordering on migraines) for the first 3 days of AF.
Contemplating going back on the pill actually!

Spots!! Sad Other than that my mood and everything else has been the same. Heard it can take a year for the spots to go once coming off the pill, I hope it doesn't go on much longer...

To actually answer one of your questions, I have no bad period pain at all but didn't before I started the pill either. I also quite like knowing there are no fake hormones in my body anymore.

I felt incredible. Depression lifted almost overnight. Make sure you have another form of contraception in place first though, I felt so good I conceived a surprise DC3 2 weeks later Blush

(Obviously assuming you're not wanting to TTC!)
