stopping birth control side effects
| Wed, 11-03-2004 - 1:39pm |
I am thinking of going off of birth control because i have side effects that are less than desirable. My husband is getting a vasectomy and i will be going off BC. I am on OTC and am wondering if any one experiences negative side effects when coming OFF the pill. Thanks!

I want to caution you to make sure that you wait the full amout of time after the vasectomy and that your husband has the test or tests necessary (and gets the appropriate result!) before you quit using your BCP. The procedure varies from doctor to doctor, ours had us wait 3 months then have one negative sperm test, I know some doctors want two tests - trust that your doctor knows what he is doing and be guided by his advice.
Good Luck! I love being off the pill & knowing we're "safe"!

Good luck!!!
I went off the pill almost a year ago and I feel so much better. My skin went through about 1 month of acne as my body adjusted. But my mood was better, my blood pressure went down, my sex drive went WAY up, and I just felt better in general. I hope you enjoy being off BCP I know I love being off of them.
Good Luck!
