Thank you for taking into account that some people are triggered by some things yet it is still important that you talk about health, body image, recovery because world is full of people with those problems. Also, please make a video how you manage to discipline yourself and wake up before 5am!! How much do you sleep then? Which workouts work for you?

    It takes a long time for hormone levels to circulate through the body and to drop, it can take a few months, so you could continue to see the impacts and experience changes. I personally went off of birth control in February and I found it took me about 4 months to really feel like it wasn't impacting me anymore. Everyone is different, I definitely thought it was smooth sailing and then 2 months after I went off there were some noticeable changes again. It's amazing how long those things can have an influence on our bodies.

  • @viktoriakiss4496
    @viktoriakiss4496 3 роки тому +2

    Good for you, Anna! ❤️ Coming off birth control was one of my best decisions ever! Without even really noticing, on the pill I became emotionally unstable, I gained 7 kgs within 2-3 years (mind you, I started with 50 kgs, so this is kind of a big change percentage-wise), and I was just fully not myself. Back when I started taking the pill I didn't know that there were other possibilities, but there are! The pill is a great possibility, and it can work marvelously for some, but I wish society would educate women more on every option, not just a few. I've been following the Sensiplan method for over a year now, which is a scientifically studied double-check fertility awareness method, which is proven to be over 99% effective - which is about the same as the pill. I'm much more in touch with my body, I lost all the weight in 12 months without doing anything differently, and most importantly, my emotions are back to normal and I feel like myself again. Disclaimer: I don't consider weightgain a bad thing, but when you put artificial hormones in your body and it makes you gain a ton a weight, that is just not your body's natural state.

    I went off the pill 9 months ago after about 6 years on it (im 31). I definitely saw a lot of positive changes from the beginning but my skin broke out terribly and i've never had acne, even as a teen. It's calmed down a lot now but i'm not out of the woods. Still glad to have gone off it and charting my cycle has worked great for me. Now hoping to have a baby within the next year. I enjoyed a lot of benefits from being on the pill but I also feel like i'm back in my body and mind in a lot of ways. I don't intend to use hormonal contraception again in the future.

    I also went off the pill back in June and I was SUPER itchy for a couple weeks. I had no idea it was hormones balancing. I thought I was eating something I was having a reaction to and then all of a sudden, no itchiness. It did take me an additional month to get my period back which surprised me, but I feel pretty normal now that I've been off for almost three months (after thirteen years of use). I started to get a lot of noticeable depression and anxiety two years ago and just hated how I was feeling. I didn't know the pill was behind most of my health complaints until my Dr educated me more in-depth about side effects this past Spring. I'm very happy I stopped it. I hope it makes you feel better as well!

    I had the implant for 3 years before my first baby and thought I had minimal side effects but when I had it removed and then got pregnant I felt like I was so much happier and the ‘best version’ of me, after breastfeeding I went onto the mini pill and within 2 weeks I was miserable, the hormones really messed me up! So I came off it and I’ve been so much happier being able to track my periods and mood without artificial hormones. I am pregnant again now with my second child but it was planned and we found it fairly easy to be ‘safe’ and not get ‘accidentally’ pregnant until we were ready. Definitely won’t be having hormonal contraception ever again!

    My Dr. has said it is always better to be off the pill unless you are someone who suffers from endometriosis and other issues. I just want to thank you and Johnathan for your Vlogs they are always wonderful to watch but have been nothing short of a lifesaver through this pandemic.

    I have only been watching your family vlogs a short time and your own personal ones even shorter. I love that you face the camera without make up... So many you tubers, and their pre teen daughters won't turn the camera on without a full face on.. I find it hard to see those kids who in some ways should still be playing with toys etc being moulded into a world where they feel they must look perfect, and then how much make up they are putting on their young skin. If I watch a family type vlog especially, I couldn't give two hoots if they are dressed up to the nines or wearing pj's with last night's dinner dropped down. I want the reality, the raw. So I find it refreshing to see you happy to wander about in your pj's letting the dogs out, no make up, hair undone... It is real, it is beautiful. Because I think that it's important to yourself as you are... That is where somebody really shows their true beauty. (obviously it goes without saying you look beautiful with make up too.)
    Thank you for keeping it real x

    Have you changed your shampoo or conditioner recently?! I had been super itchy, and couldn’t figure out why, the only thing that had changed around the time I started getting itchy was my shampoo...
    so I will change back to my regular one and see how that goes.

    Just to balance things out I must admit I was put on the pill by my GP as I suffered from such severe menstrual cramps at 22 that I vomited if I didn't get painkillers early enough. I didn't even need birth control at the time but the benefits for me far outweighed any mild side effects I had. We're all different and what works for one won't necessarily work for another x

      I agree the pill does work for other reasons other than contraception. I've always had extremely heavy periods and extremely bad period pains however being on the pill ( for contraception reasons) has completely calmed it down and I have normal periods now and normal pains, some months on the pill I won't even get a period. In that sense for me it is so much better for me to be on the pill however since being on the pill it has effected my mood drastically and makes me feel ill. Everything works different for different people, I had the iud implant 2 times and that just made me bleed even heavier than my bad periods, were as some women get no bleeding at all, just depends on how it reacts to the body.

    No way would I poison my system long term on the pill...for a man. Lots of side effects, body/mood changes etc. The man remains unchanged. If a family is complete the husband/partner should have a simple snip. We give the gift of children to them, it's the very least they can do 🤣❤️❤️

      I absolutely support your choice and agree with the reasoning, but perhaps "poison my system" is not the right terminology... Many of us on the pill use it to control or help with the medical conditions. They're not poison, you're not doing anything wrong by taking them, and you're not being "bad" to your body! If you are in a heterosexual relationship and your family is complete, we definitely need to eradicate this harmful idea that women are fully responsible for the couple's reproductive health, but we also need to put more research into birth control pills with fewer side effects. =)

      @@LiviettaG I am so happy you have found something that helps your body type. I am 47 and my daughters are 22 and 19. Any pill I tried had massive side effects and the same with both my girls. Major depression and anxiety being top of the list. My oldest girl put 2.5 stone on in just two months. That led to more health issues. Thank god they are back happy and healthy now. I really do understand what you mean. It's perfect for you lovely so do what's best for you 🙏❤️

      @@genevieve6983 I agree, my choice of words was probably not the best. I do apologise. ❤️ It's just my experience with the pill and both my daughters was very scary and our health was so much better without it. We personally felt our system was so unhealthy. That was just our body types. If women are on the pill for regulating periods etc that's different if it's working, if it's making you ill then it needs to be addressed. I don't mean to insult anyone 🙏❤️

    I completely understand wanting to come off the pill. I wish I could go off it completely. I've done so on and off but it's difficult with my PCOS. The pill helps with my hormonal imbalance. Without it I get depressed, emotional, etc. I don't like taking it but in my case it's necessary at this point so I can feel like myself the downside is the weight gain and difficulty losing it..

    I understand that feeling because am going through it. In as much as I like the menstrual flow not coming regularly because I do have painful menstruation. But at the back of my head I do feel uncomfortable and worry alot if I don't see it. Currently am on the contraceptive implant called the (Nexplanon).. The itchy part I totally understand because i do get it on several occasion. All I can say is do whatever that makes you happy and comfortable.

    I have that itchiness. Have had it for years, especially at night. I scratch an itch (normally just touching it helps) and it starts up immediately in another spot. It moves from heat to toes. Sometimes I can’t fall asleep because of it. But there’s nothing visible there! No redness or dry skin. I do believe it has something to do with a medication I’m taking, though it doesn’t mention that side effect in the leaflet.
