After 6 years I decided to go of birth control. Before I went off birth control I started googling “what will happen to my body if I stop taking birth control’’.
I scheduled an appointment to see my gynecologist and discussed it with her. I walked out there with a new prescription in my hands. The next day I decided not to fIll my subscription.
So my journey started.
While I was on birth control my body was not the same.
I constantly felt like I was in this bubble, I was gaining weight, hair loss, my hormones were out of whack and I had terrible mood swings. I felt depressed, sad for no reason. I was emotionally out of control. I also got night sweats at night. My sex drive was not doing good as well and I did not have my periods like in 7 months.
So the first week nothing really eventful happened. Just that my LIBIDO came back in full force.
In week two I got terrible cramps, like terrible.
I did a little bit of research and found out that my body is confused on what is happening. During the week I really concentrated on every detail I was feeling in my body by tuning in, eating healthy and practise self care.
Week 3 I GOT MY PERIOD,
I felt so happy. You must think really who does get excited about their periods! ME!!! The first two days were awful, I had a lot of cramps, but by the 3rd day all was good.
It has been 2 months since I stopped taking birth control.
I have lost weight, I don’t have that bubble over my head anymore, my sex drive is back, I am this positive human being and I had my second period on time.
I learned how to tune into my body, feeling more balanced, happy and free.
I love the way I feel.
I am not saying stop taking birth control, I am saying listen to your body. There are lots of preventative methods you can use instead of the pill. Consult with your gynecologist or family doctor.
