Going off BCP...

We decided to TTC right away!!!!
























So I have been on Loestrin 24 for 3 months, prior to that, Mircette and Yaz.

This BCP is flucking with me big time! Spotting, skipped periods, etc....I am seriously thinking of coming off it completely. Not to mention, every BCP atuomatically makes me gain 15 lbs

Anyone else come off BCP completely or can you recommend yours to try?

Finding the right pill can be so frustrating! I was on Femcon, I liked it, but it was expensive, (check how much it will be with your insurance plan), so now I am on Sprintec which is making me suuuuuuuuuuper moody!! But I think I might switch back to Femcon so I'm not a flaming biotch, FH thinks it's worth every penny!!!

OMG I forgot I was on Sprintec....yeah that turned me into a raging bitcch!

I am gonna call my OB on my lunch break and see if he can call in something else. Maybe the Femcon? I have really good insurance...I gotta see, this is really annoying

I love love LOVE my Seasonique. Really. A godsend.

I have endometriosis and it has controlled my hormones and my flow impeccably, it's awesome.

I take femcon and I absolutely love it! It is expensive, even with insurance its $50. but totally worth it. I had no bad side effects.

Oh dear... I highly recommend mine, Loestrin 24
Seriously though, I love it. I get my period like once a year. Your body just needs to get used to it.

I used to be on the Depo shot but stopped that.

I'm on Tri-Sprintec which I love; no weight gain (though I started it about two months before I joined WW, so that might have something to do with it), no mood swings and I pretty much can pinpoint exactly when Aunt Flo will arrive. It's shortened the length of her visit too - I only deal with Aunt Flo for about two days. Three if it's been a particularly stressful month. It alleviated a lot of my cramps too.

I have been having major issues this month and i am thinking about gettign off it as well i am just afraid i will get my friend for the HM

If i do we will do what we did for 2 yrs before i was on it - the pulling out method

when you DO decide to get pregnant you should have NO problem Some women never know when they O.

i was on yaz for almost a year then i started getting my period every 2 weeks. ive been on femcon for a year and i swear if i dont take my pill at the exact same time everyday, it screws up my whole schedule !!! im talking within an hour or so , it will screw me up! so for now im off the pill until i get my period again and can start with a fresh pack.....

I did call my OB and spoke to a nurse who assured me that everything I was experiencing was normal She said spotting is normal within the first few months and even missing a period completely on this type of BCP is extremely normal/common. She definitely put me at ease so I am gonna stick with it a little longer and then we'll see what happens.
