How did it feel when you came off the pill?

I have been on the pill since I was 18. I've only had 1 break, I got pregnant within a month of coming off but I had a m/c. I was pregnant again 7 months later but so hormonally all over the place I can't remember how my body felt different not being on the pill.
I forgot to take my pill on holiday, so have decided to take a break. I'm surprised to be feeling less moody, lighter period, bit more in the mood than when on the pill and just wondered if this is just because it's only the first month pill free or whether this is likely to continue? I was on Logynon.

Brilliant. Only then did I realise how grumpy and lethargic it had made me feel.

Stopped about a month ago, don't really feel any different and not had a period yet so don't know if it will be lighter or not. Felt weepy a few days ago which is normally the sigh that AF is due in a week so will have to see. Am hoping that it will be easier to lose some weight though.

Normal! Felt flat and depressed on the pill, like a zombie. I was on it for years...what a waste.

Flat is a good description. And I'd not noticed until now that I'm less tired and sleeping better. Hope it lasts!
