I went off the pill 3 weeks ago. Lost 5 pounds, but my skin has become a little oily and a few more pimples than usual. I think our bodies just need more time to adjust to the change. It's like body stress.

I bought some new facial cleanser, Biore for oily skin, so far it's been working pretty good to keep my face from breaking out.

What other kind of changes have you felt since stopping the pill?

Havent experienced a period yet, but it wont be a full month until next week. I hope it's not too heavy. I've been on the pill for 6 years, so I really don't know what to expect my body to do. You know how when your on the pill your dry? Well, sorry if this is gross, but since I stopped taking the pill, I have discharge everyday. like, a lot. Im hoping that's normal, but it's still something Im having a hard time adjusting to.

On a plus side, I've noticed that Im not so moody and emotional. Usually a week before my period is due, I get bitchy, and teary eyed, but not this time.

I heard that I should expect my period late because of stopping the pills. Was your period on time?
