Need advice- Just finished my last pack of the pill, getting married in 2 weeks! Now I’m reading that acne is a side effect of going off the pill! Terrified of breaking out before the wedding... cont

I would probably continue for another month just because you don't know how your body will react to such a change. Some people are really affected, others not so much. I wouldn't want to find out which I am right before me wedding!

Thanks for the advice everyone! I’ll go ahead and wait until after the wedding just in case... the chance of any or all of these side effects is not worth it!

Might not be what you want to hear but I was on pill (Yaz then Apri) for 9 years, I went off of it for 1.5years and had miserable cramps and got cystic acne + regular acne (sometimes 12-15 at a time) almost immediately and constantly (not just at period time). I went back to pill 3 months ago and it all disappeared within 2-3 weeks. I’m married as well...going to wait until trying to get pregnant to get off. Side note, I never really had acne pre-birth control 11 years ago.

Are you trying to get pregnant immediately? If not, you might consider staying on. Obviously your choice. Enjoy your wedding!!

Marriage is already a new experience. Maybe wait to go off until after you have a few months under your belt.

I didn’t have acne before the pill, will I now? What was your experience coming off the pill? Any advice? Thanks!

Only v painful first period coming off the pill but no other side effects. I was on a POP though - not sure what you were on.

I never had any issues with acne pre or post pill. I did get worse periods though from a cramping / flow standpoint.

I had no side effects when I went off the pill

I just would not risk going off the pill right before the wedding cuz you have no ideas about the side effects. Similar to other posters, I had an early, very bad period with lots of acne right after I went off

I didn’t have any issues going off the pill. I felt the same as before I started the pill. If you have been on the pill for a while then the heavier flow and cramps might catch you off guard. I think if you had acne before going on the pill then you might risk having it return when stopping the pill.

Not trying to be all up in your uterus but agree that you should consider waiting till after wedding. Was on pill for 10yrs, no acne when I got off but I did have weird (heavy then light, 2 in 1 month) periods right after I got off and insane pms. Then again I have really dry skin so prob had like 2 pimples my entire life
