Recently stopped taking Birth Control Pills and having some weird reactions?
446299
Don't freak out too much, it could be nothing!  I took birth-control pills for exactly the same reason and then just stopped taking them, my body flipped out and I felt really sick and my period was irregular for months.\n\nWait untill you finish your period this time and then start the pills, just as you did the first time.  You're okay.\n\nIf you're really worried, go to your doctor for more information.

It is normal. I missed my period a whole 3 months when i switched my birth control. But go to the doctor just to be on the safe side.

Your cycle gets messed up whenever you go on or off birth control.  It can take weeks to months for things to stabilize, especially if you've been on it for a long time.  Be patient.

Have you seen someone regarding this-it sounds like your hormones and internal chemicals have shifted and perhaps need some re-balancing.

There are so many different pills, if this one is no longer working for you, ask your doctor if you can try another one. I've changed pills for the same reasons as one that seemed to agree with me suddenly stopped and I was an emotional wreck. I'm now on a low dose pill and I'm much better......and my kids aren't afraid to speak anymore lol.

Even a low dose of the pill makes my hormone levels weird. The last time I was on the pill my husband told me not to worry about taking it because nothing was going to happen to where I might get pregnant. Look into NFP.

Yes, the pill regulates your hormones. Now that you are off of them your hormones are freaking out and trying to regulate themselves. Don't worry, it'll pass.

Any birth control I have ever been on has made me gain weight, but our bodies all react differently.

That's very normal.  If you weren't aware, hormonal birth control (including the pills) essentially make your body think that you are pregnant. When you stop the pills once a month, your body realizes that it isn't, and rids itself of the uterine lining. Since you stopped the pills (particularly in the middle of a pack), your hormones and body are a little confused, and are trying to straighten themselves out.  Bleeding up to the length of a normal-long peridod very normal, and nothing to worry about. However, if the bleeding continues for more than a week, you should go see your gyno or health care provider to make sure everything is ok with your body.\n\nBest of luck,\n\nEssin' Em, www.hotmoviesforher.com

If you stopped taking birth control, you are not experiancing break through bleeding. Break through bleeding is a term used only to describe bleeding while taking active hormones. \n\nWhat you are experiencing is a period. If you were irresponsible about going off birth control and stopped half way through your pack, then the bleeding could last much longer than your regular period and your cycle is going to take some time to go back to normal. You messed up your hormonal cycle. If you were smart about it and waited until the end of a pack to go off birth control, your bleeding should only last as long as it usually does each month when you get your period. \n\nSince you are planning on becoming pregnant, you should wait about 2 to 3 full natural cycles to attempt to get pregnant. Right now your body is getting used to being off hormones and you may not ovulate for a few months or experience irregular cycles. It may be better to wait. No worries though, if you were fertile before going on the pill, you should have no problems becoming pregnant soon. \n\nThese sorts of questions should always be directed at your prescribing doctor though, so go see your doc!

Yes,a lot of women have diferent side effects when they are on Birth Control pills.\nSome have them starting up,others during and still others, like you,have them when they stop.\nIf you want to be on BC,you need to have one that suits you,and you should be consistent with it,to avoid confusing your body and also to  cut down the risk of unwanted pregnancy.\nYou will feel okay within the next 24 hours as your body begins to re-establish its own diurnal rythm.\nDrink lots of water,eat some fruit.

Yes, it can take several months for your body to regulate itself once discontinuing the use of birth control pills. See, when you are using birth control pills, those pills fool your body into thinking it ovulates, but the pills prevent that. So when you stop taking them your body has to adjust to having regular cycles again without the use of synthetic hormones helping to regulate your cycles.\n\nAnd I agree with NurseAnnie. If you believe that you could be pregnant, you should visit a doctor to have yourself tested.

I would suggest that if you do not have a period with in the next week, purchase a home pregancy test.  I suspect that you are going to have your period, but your body is just going threw some changes, so it feels different.  Also, if you were recently treated for a yeast infection, and you took antibiotics for that, it could have an impact.  Hopefully your doctor explained to you that when taking anti biotics, you need to use a second form of birth control for a month, as your birth control pill (if you take them) very well not  work.  Good Luck!

`girl, I must say that that isn't strange!!!!  Your body isn't use to not being on the pill!!! Its like when you take drinks and smothies to lose weight, you will lose but when it is time to eat again your body can't take it. You don't need to take pills, lose weight the old fashion way!!!!!!

Have you had your hormone levels checked? Birth control pills are usually the method most doctors are familiar with, however they need to determine the cause for your irregular bleeding and try to attack that. Some of the causes can be a irregular production of hormones or policystic ovaric syndrom or something like that.\n\nIf you take pills the only thing you do is to stop the problem temporarily, while you're taking them, and when you stop it comes back again.\n\nSo get checked until you find what's causing you taht, the sooner you discover it, the easier it will be to treat it and you can stop it from complicating further, what if it is causes by a tumor near your pituitary gland or something that can cause you infertility.\n\nI don't say this to gat you scared, some women have to live with irregular periods all their lives, but get checked. If you don't trust your gynecologist, I recommend you an endocrinologist, they are more experienced in relation to hormonal and gland problems.\n\nGood luck!

I was on it about 3 months ago for 5 days and had a normal period when it was over (actually alot lighter than normal). I would get in to see your dr. immediately! Don't let them give you the run around!!

I had the same thing happen to me and my birth control wouldn't stop it. You should visit the doctor but what he told me was to keep taking the pill until the pack was finished then he started me on some with lower hormones.And within a few days I was back to normal.
