Love Sweat Fitness I have switched several birth control pill brands to find what works best for me because some really made me breakout and others made me breakthrough bleed too much. I think it’s all about finding the right birth control for you. I need it but some pills I definitely had horrible cystic acne! I cannot emphasize enough that different pills have different amounts of different hormones and you have to find what works for you if you personally need birth control.

Soo agree! There are so many options for birth control and they are not cookie cutter. Ultimately, I chose the implant as it is progesterone-based and my body is already responding to it soooo much better than the pill. I felt like a monster on the pill. Turns out?? I have low progesterone and normal estrogen levels (uncommon). Now I feel balanced again....TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL LADIES. Love your Ob/GYN!

I lost 20lbs the first month after I got my implant implanon out. I feel so much better I was sick almost everday and the bleeding for weeks at a time really sucked. Now I'm back to a regular cycle. And definitely better sex drive. Went 3 rounds with hubby this morning. ♥️

I went on Mirena after having my daughter. It was my first time ever on birth control and it was god awful. I had so many health issues. I HAVE to practice natural birth control because of my experience with Mirena. I didn’t feel in tune to my body at all being on birth control. I can feel when I’m ovulating, when my period is coming on, etc. and I like it that way. It makes me feel like I have a sense of self.

I’m glad you’re open to talking about this! I also went on birth control, as a teen, to control acne and periods. My mother was terrified I would get Endometriosis if I didn’t go on the pills. 🙄 I’ve been off and on BC throughout the years, also tried Nuvaring. In my twenties, Nuvaring cleared up my skin and made my periods almost non-existent. Now, in my 30s, Nuvaring started giving me migraines. I switched back to the pill. I really want to get off of it. I have 3 wonderful boys, so my hubby and I are satisfied with our family size. So I admire you for taking the steps to get off the pill! Thanks for sharing your experience! And Yay! Summer Shape Up! God bless you❣️💪🤗🎉🎊

I never regretted stopping the pill. Because my body changed. But other method of protection is still key!

20 years ago, I went off birth control after having been on it for a decade. it's like my mind woke up, I realized all the mistakes I had made, including unfortunately marrying the wrong person. I ended up divorcing, starting my life over with a new mind, my life only got better. Like you said, I went from a smooth even keel of bland nothingness to a world of exciting emotions. ...What it actually is like to be a real female, lol, The Good and the bad. And yes I could feel when everything in my cycle happened. I didn't even need birth control because I could just tell when I was fertile etc. Over the past 20 something years, I have had five children basically when I wanted to, and none when I did not want to, let's just say, without artificial birth control. It's the most empowering thing.

I also want to say that when I stopped birth control, and I felt it leave my system, my appetite and eating style went back to what naturally should be. I lost probably 30 lb, basically without trying. And I stayed at that size, except when pregnant. As a matter of fact, each time I weaned a child, and my body returned to normal hormonally, I experienced the same thing, I basically hormonely went back to my normal state, and lost any excess pregnancy weight easily and naturally. For some reason for me, birth control makes me 30 lb heavier!

The sex drive thing makes sense. I’ve been on BC for as long as I can remember and I always thought I just had a low sex drive and that was that, but maybe the BC is doing something behind the scenes that I didn’t think about

Yay! All those things are so important! A happyLibido is awesome.

Literally all the same things happened to me when I stopped using birth control-I feel amazing!

I'm glad it has worked out so well for you! I'm kind of scared to ever go off of it, should I ever want to get pregnant, because of how much the pill has helped me with my previously horrendous periods. Nothing else really helped with how long and painful they were, and it was like magic.

Never heard of the diva cups I have not used contraception in almost 10 years! I can tell when I'm ovulating, which is neat. I also was born Catholic and I've always been interested in Natural Family Planning so I can track my cycles more even though I'm currently single.

Typically, I get really depressed around the time my period is supposed to come on, but so far I’ve been feeling great! Im also really excited because I purchased the diva cup!!!

I came off the pill well over 20yrs a go, I used to have PCOS it cleared up after my second child, but my periods were horrendous, to the point of being put forward for a hysterectomy, but I came across the menstral cup which has completely changed my life, every month I used to take like a whole box of pain killers, could stand up, go to the loo, play with my kids, Since I’ve been using it I haven’t taken a single pain killer, i go to the gym and much more. it took a long time for me to get my head around it like you said, it’s weird, the thought made me queasy, but for me the lack of pain, not so heavy flow outweighs the rest. My skin has been amazing since being off birth control, it’s amazing how bad it Can be!!!

So happy that I found your video, I have a slow acting thriod. I have been so tired and nobody knew were it came from and i went to so much doctors. I really wanna try to stop with the pill and see how my body react!

Thanks for sharing!

HEY was wondering did you start taking those supplements right after birth control or shortly after? thanks !!

I recently stopped my birth control, and before, I was really in tune with how my body felt. Now, it's confusing because I felt exactly how you felt: like that straight, almost numb feeling. I actually have feeling in my lower abs and I don't feel so bloated. The weight still seems to be climbing, but I'm hoping everything just needs more time to even out.

I’ve been on birth control almost 10 years. Last summer there was a 3 month gap between a next dosage Bc there was confusion with doctor filling my prescription with the pharmacist. Before the gap I was on a single hormone pill and then after I was put on a dual hormone pill. I eat very healthy and work out very hard but I’m having a hard time getting leaner. I really truly feel the BC is affecting my ability to lose weight

If you feel its effect you that way, ask your doctor about it and consult with them if you can!

I would love to go off birth control but I get crazy heavy periods without it :( I went on it because the flow wouldn't stop, I had a period that lasted over 2 months before I went to my doctor. I went off of it and the heavy periods came back. SO frustrating!!

I'm so glad it helped!!

I have been on the pill for 1 and a half year and I too have lost my sex drive. I also feel like my feelings have become more numb but that might be because of the pill trying to balance out my hormones but it sucks

When I got off birth control I got really bad depression, always crying and I couldn't control it. I decided after 2 months to go back on birth control. I wish I waited the 3 months for it to come out of my system more!

I think it does take some time for sure, not fun at allll but worth it to me in the end

I’m trying to get off the pill, but I’m SOOOO afraid that my cramping will COME back 10x worse. If I can give a compliment to my bc pill, I’ll say that my cramping was at a minimum! I struggled with cramping before bc and it’s a MONSTER!! I was crying, getting dizzy, throwing up etc... bc stopped that but I want a break because I’ve been on the pill for 7 years.

Please can you comment on how it went for you? I mostly went on bc because I had similar periods to how you described it. I'm also scared to go off of the pill now.

That’s an amazing video! Can you tell me which hormonal dosage did you have? Because mine pill is very low so maybe If I’m going to stop it I’m going to have so many benefits

Mine was also pretty low, but still caused a lot of difficulties for me.

How did you started this journey, before going off the pill.what were the steps you followed. Did u start exercising couple of months earlier before going off the pill..guide me as I'm planning to take off the pill and I've started lifestyle changes simultaneously.. should I make my life style changes first and then I should stop pills.. guide me

Girl try a menstrual cup! For me it literally lasts 12 hours. So when I’m on my period I have a quick shower morning and night to empty it etc. So much more convenient and I actually find it less gross then pads or tampons. Also, totally agree that coming off the pill was the best thing I ever did! Easier periods, less moody, and much prefer listening to my body.

I love diva cups. Best decision I’ve ever made. AMAZING

@@amandacosta1566 - Hi, I'm not sure what you are taking, but I lost weight actually. Not immediately, but over time. So I just passed a year in September and I lost a good 35 pounds but I also modified my diet and took measures to fix my gut too with probiotics. I do think stopping the pill helped heaps. Good look in your journey💚

Thanks for sharing! I have hypothyroidism as well and I was taking bc pills, but I stopped taking them. I don’t like how it made my body feel and how bloated I always felt.

I hope you come around on menstrual cups. I get it, I felt like you before I tried it, then one day I was like "this is bigger than me, I need to have an open mind" and decided to broaden my horizon and just ordered one, tried it and will NEVER go back!

Maybe one day, open to it...just doesn’t feel like the right fit for me...but who knows!

I went off birth control 3 months ago and I definitely noticed a difference. But not in my skin yet. My period is now only like 2 days which I’m not sure is good but I am overdue for a checkup! We are trying to have a baby too. :)
