I'm four days off BC after 10 years...can I expect to see any side effects? Weight gain/loss?
thanks.

Re: Going off BC
probably some weight gain or loss, definite bloating come PMS time (that's what I got) and the cramps are more noticeable (but not bad). AF is definitely shorter though....4 days long now!

Re: Going off BC
I've noticed more 'break outs' - I thought I was out of the pimple stage!!

Re: Going off BC
for me there was a slight weight gain, erratic periods (my cycle is all over the place) but shorter periods.

Great...I was hoping there would be a weight loss. No such luck!

Pimples at 34 years old. Lovely But my periods are back to being like clockwork and shorter too (the pill made my period unpredictable and even though the flow wasn't as much, it lasted longer).

Re: Going off BC
I had break outs as well, bloating at time of AF, cramping, and heavier/ longer flow...

I'm not looking forward to the side effects, but I think it's time after 8 years. Any more side effects?

Re: Going off BC
Initially I gained weight, I think from bloating, but I've been off for about 6 wks and I ended up losing the water and some weight... but, going off the pill gave me migraines, awful nauseau (still getting that) and serious emotional swings... I'm starting to settle now, but the first 4 weeks were horrendous
