I lost weight off of the pill and my skin got worse.

like

I was on the pill for about 5 years and stopped when we decided to try for a baby. No side effects while on or after stopping use.

Was on it for 5+ years. Stopped and had a flare up but I have an autoimmune disease and some studies indicate that can happen. It’s not studied well/clearly enough though, wish more specific studies are on this.

Read the book Beyond the Pill.. Great source of information..

I did not have any side effects being on the pill. Had clearer skin, lighter period and all. I’ve been off the pill for about 8 months simply just because I decided I needed a break - and had a decent weight gain, super heavy period, no postives for me lol

Not on the pill myself but a friend was on it for like 8 years and got off and her face broke out, gained weight and she said she felt crazy. My cousin got off the pill after like 10 years and she’s not having periods and having subsequent fertility issues.

On the pill- DEPRESSED without knowing until I became suicidal but great skin and skinny because I felt nauseated a lot. Off the pill, happy, BAD SKIN, and thinned hair. Got on a different pill and gained a LOT of weight and didn't help skin.

Off pill again, lost the weight and saw a dermatologist for my skin

Was on the pill for ~4 years, switched to IUD. Skin slightly worse first 2 months but got better. Have seen more hair growth 😑. No weight changes.

I recently decided to slow down communication with one woman on my team because she is constantly trying to have social conversations about her personal life/beliefs and it was super distracting.

Is this behavior normal/has this happened to anyone else before? I swear I feel like I’m in middle school again.
