Default Going off BCP??? (not PCOS, but ladies question)

I just quit the pill and I'm having all sorts of untimely period symptoms (acne and weight loss stalling). Did anyone else have this problem going off the pill? Is that even possible. I know the pill definitely stalled me, so I'm wondering if going off it might ALSO stall me for awhile.

I went off the pill about a year ago and hoped those extra pounds would fall off...they didn't! I also didn't have any odd symptoms. Everything pretty much stayed the same. I now attribute the difficulty losing with getting a little older. I would call my gyn about the symptoms you are experiencing. That is what they are for!

I need to find a gyn first who will listen to me. Mine is crazy. I got the pill from a dermatologist. It's so hard to find a good one!

I think my doc wouldn't even test my sex hormones for at least 3-4 cycles after I stopped Yasmin. So it may take a few months to get back to normal.

I am thinking about stopping, but I had so many problems that were alleviated by the Pill, I'm very afraid. I would expect Armageddon, actually, if I stopped!
