Off the BC pill- odd side effects?

Question

I went off the BC pill at the end of June. Since then, my cycles are regular but I feel awful! We are TTC, and this month has been really bad. I've gained 10 lbs in the past 4 weeks, unfortunately. I exercise regularily and I have been on a healthy diet for years, so I can't account for the weight gain. I've been dealing with dizzy spells and headaches, along with fatigue and slight ab cramping over the past week or so. AF is due next week, and I simply cannot believe I could be preg this fast. Has anyone else dealt with side effects from stopping BC pills?

Answer 1

you should go get a test asap cause you could be prego = ] when i got off birthcontrol i stopped being hungry all the time and lost some weight

Answer 2

Birth control is crazy - it takes a while to adjust. Some women get pregnant fast, and some it takes forever to get back to normal. Wait to see if AF makes her monthly visit, and if she doesn't come on time take a HPT. You would be lucky to get pregnant so fast, and I hope you are! I was on Depo last year, and it took me 6 months to get a normal cycle. I'm now on my 7th month of TTC. I had tons of weird side effects in between I felt like I was going to see AF every other day for a while. I also felt that I could've been pregnant, but it was just my body regulating itself.

Baby Dust to all of us TTC, and good luck!
