  • This video is about GETTING OFF BIRTH CONTROL AFTER 12 YEARS
    Today's video is explaining my experience of getting off of birth control after being on it for about 14 years. I am not a doctor so please take what I say with a grain of salt. I highly recommend talking to your doctor as well as mine was super helpful throughout this whole transition.
    I was about 16 when I started talking the pill and I am 28 now. I was on multiple different kinds and reacted differently to all of them. The last two I was on, Tri lo Marzia and Tri lo Sprintec, I had a very bad reaction so decided to just try going off of the pill completely to see how my body reacted.

    Thank the Lord, I have hope to lose my extra weight and lower belly pooch. Ive been off that pill for 1 month. I was on the pill for about 2 years and pretty steadily gained weight... about 15 to 20 lbs total, which shows A LOT when you go from 120 to 135 or 140. I went to my doc and was like i eat so clean and i workout daily and i keep gaining weight and cant lose it no matter what and she (a freaking woman Dr herself!) Blew me off and said it was just me aging (im only 36!) And my stress levels. She never once mentioned that it could be related to birth control. She just said it is what it is in so many words.

    Is anybody experiencing breast tenderness throughout your first natural cycle after coming off the birth cobtrol pill ?

      That’s completely normal because that’s what your body is supposed to do when you get your period. Birth control stops symptoms

    Does anyone experience more bloating after getting off the pill?

      @emilychristine000 Рік тому

      Yes! When I went off the pill after being on it for 3 years, I gained about 20 lbs, got tons of acne, and loss over half my hair. I went back on after a year because my skin was not clearing up. Now, I have to go back off the pill due to migraine with aura. Sooo not looking forward to this at all.

    How’s your mental health? Are you familiar with fasting? There’s incredible testimonies from people of all types having experienced very positive results in fasting. Dry fasting although intimidating it produces favorable results sooner. There’s a religion called Ramadan that practices intermittent dry fasting and their conviction speaks volumes on its positive impacts.
