Well, you inspired me to stop taking it! So far so good. I feel better already!

I am really glad you posted this. This is also a dilemma for me. I really want to stop taking the pill but when I stop taking it, my periods are so erratic and horrible. Also I immediately break out and it is just a bad experience. However I think I may try going off of the pill again because I feel like it can’t be healthy…

Hi Gina! This is my first comment on your blog but I’ve been a subscriber for a couple months now. Just wanted to let you know I love what you’re doing on here! And thank you so much for sharing about this topic. I’m a 24 (almost 25) year old newlywed and even though hubs and I aren’t TTC yet, I went off the pill 2 months ago because I hated putting chemicals in my body. I’m trying to make my body the best “baby making oven” possible before we TTC through a mostly vegetarian diet and exercise (I’m a sucker for shrimp…and salmon), and have begun to look into supplementation. I read this article on the dangers of supplementing with folic acid, though, and am concerned. Just some “food” for thought…I actually have a OB/GYN appt. today and am going to bring this up with my doctor. Here’s the article, in case you’re interested: http://www.drfuhrman.com/library/folic_acid_dangers_and_prenatal_vitamins.aspx
Thanks again for your blog!

You are lucky to have had no adverse affects after going off the pill. I stopped taking it after 10 years or so, and it was bad news. I was off it for 2 months, and my skin broke out, and my cycle didn’t return, so I went back on it, and things are finally getting back to normal. Like you, I was originally on the pill for medical reasons, and it appears I still need it.

Wow that’s an awesome choice! I’m glad you’re able to do what’s best for you and your body. I have to admit I’m kind of jeal (not a cute feature) because I literally have to take the pill. I have polycycstic ovarian syndrome and the only way to treat it is with the pill. Otherwise I don’t get my period at all and have horrible symptoms. Um, I love how I turned this into a pity party. So cool! But seriously Gina. I’m so happy for you!
