Day Three...

Hey everyone,


Today is day number 3. It's been three days since I stopped taking my Ortho Tricyclyn. So far I feel fine... My b/f is looking hotter than usual and all I want to do is do things to him (sorry, that was a little much, lol). It could be a possible side affect. If so, great! I love it. Other than that, I feel ok. I guess I'll have to wait until my next cycle.


I'm 29 years old, and have been on the pill since I was 18. This should be interesting. Does anyone know of what I can expect? What have you experienced? My b/f and I plan on getting married and having kids someday soon, so I thought I'd get off the pill now seeing as how my mother and her sister had difficulties getting pregnant. I'm really scared that I'm going to have a hard time as well. We're not trying to get pregnant, and we're taking the right precautions because we want to be married first. However, if he slipped one past the goalie right now I would not argue!


My b/f and I had a pregnancy scare once before and we handled it well. It turned out that I was not pregnant, and to my surprise I cried and was so disappointed. My reaction was

I'm glad you're not noticing any side effects from stopping the birth control.

Hey everyone, just an update...


I'm now on day 6 of being off of my Ortho Tricyclyn. Yesterday I felt a bit of nausea, dizzyness and mild cramping. The cramping was strange because the pill had always taken that feeling away! Nothing I ate yesterday agreed with me at all. Other than those things happening I feel pretty good. After 10 years of being on the pill, I forgot what it felt like to feel normal!


This morning is much better though. I find that I'm not as emotional anymore, and I all I want to do is maul my b/f, lol. He doesn't mind at all though.


Thanks for reading my update!
