I've been off the pill for 4/5 weeks now and

I've only just realised that for the last 6 year's I've been on it, I have been absolutely unnaturally dog tired ALL OF THE TIME.

And now? I haven't felt like that for at least two or three weeks. It is amazing.

I thought I was just an extra tired person and I would just be ridiculously tired forever more, I never even thought that it would be because of the pill

I thought I had no sex drive. Wasn’t sure if it was age (I’m only 31!) or if there was something wrong in my relationship. No after a month off the pill I feel like I’ve been reawakened. Scary the side effects we just accept pumping hormones in ourselves constantly

Yes!!!!! I actually came off it because of an absolute onslaught of health issues, mostly gyneacologocal (definitely wrong spelling...) but some hormonal. I had convinced myself I was going through the menopause at twenty seven.

Every single one of the symptoms has completely disappeared. I cannot believe it. Insane how it is dished out like Smarties almost when it has so many side effects (although fully understand it does the opposite and helps lots of people as well).

I mean on the downside I am having my first period since coming off and it feels like Niagara falls to be honest (Sorry!!!!) And I've got through 3/4 of a pack of pads in one day but still
