it gets better sweetie!!!!! month you will see that with each cycle it gets easier.... the mood thing will clear ...gradually but it WILL. I also wondered for a bit whether I was struggling with it too but its gotten better for sure. Are you taking any meds or natural stuff to help?
Thank you so much ! I take Prozac and sometimes I take some supplements but I find they don't help very much during my period. I made the mistake of trying birth control again for 6 days after being off for 2 cycles and now I kind of feel like i'm starting over again.
Yeah a few ladies have voiced that they decided to go back on bcp and it made them feel worse. Supplements are one of those things that you have to take daily for at least 3 months. B vitamins in particular, see if you can get yourself a combo of B1, B2, B5 B6 and B12 and then see if you can also get a natural hormone balancer from a health shop or something. But you need to stick to it for at least 3 months to help your body. Healing takes time. Magnesium at night to help the nervous system and Omega 3 to bring down inflammation in your body.
Does anyone get bad allergies on their period? I think I am producing way too many prostaglandins since coming off the pill.. i'm so miserable.
I also had allergies- on my first period off BC my body came up in hives. I've had hives a few times since coming off. No idea what triggered it!
Your immune system takes a knock. Hives is a stress reaction.... I got cold sores last month and this month I got a full on cold with cold sores ... a higher than normal dose of Vit C will help during your fertile window... that when our immune system is most vulnerable apparently.
Hey! Not sure if you’re gonna see this but how are you doing now, have you fully recovered? I’m a year and 6 months off the pill that I was only on for 6 months, and I’m still kinda trying to shake the anxiety this whole experience has given me. Granted I had mild anxiety in the past that I was able to manage on my own but this has been HELL lol I just want to be recovered.
My daughter has been on Lexapro for anxiety for the past 3 years and that worked UNTIL now ... she went off the pill over a month ago and her controlled anxiety is now out of control ... I’m assuming, from what all of you said, that discontinuing the pill is causing her problem ... as her mother, it was good to read your comments.

Hello
I just wondered if you ever got out of this horrible cycle that I feel I’m experiencing? I know it was years ago but would be lovely to know if you did

I read this forum daily , even though a lot of it is old - it has got me through some dark days and I am roughly 4 months off BC. I wanted to say here , because I think about all the time :-
Any pill that stops your periods , stops menstruation , alters bodily function IS WRONG !!!
Stop taking them please. The progesterone only pill suppressed my real feelings for 3 years , it made me numb and it made me flat for the first 2 years and then the last year I could feel the anxiety seeping through causing other issues like aching body parts and headaches.
I came off because I knew it was screwing me up and I was right ! My system is trying to regulate now but it’s struggling like a spluttering engine. I’m on my fourth period now and my moods and symptoms are still VERY up and down daily.
Please please know that it’s very wrong to stop the body doing what it naturally needs to do. Sooner or later something will have to give.
My body had had enough of the pill , it was telling me and I had to get off.
This has been THE WORST 4 months of my life ever trying to stick to this. I’ve cried and struggled and been to ER thinking I was having a stroke (first month). I’ve cried in my mums arms , my dads arms , in front of my family. It’s been so god dam awful I can’t even put it into words.
I am seeing hours , days that are better now. Every evening I am relaxed with my kids and can manage to even cook sometimes.
I’ve driven my car again and taken my daughter to the park (with my dad by my side) and this week I’m hoping to go to a school assembly. This will take all my strength and I’m very anxious about it but I have to do it for my child.
Every day brings a new challenge with something else not feeling right in my body but I’m really trying to push through it. I’ve never had to find so much courage and strength as I have the last 4 months.
Please please be reassured that better time’s are ahead if you are early on in this journey.
Take a good woman’s hormonal supplement and take magnesium and vit B. Find a good herbal tea that can calm you ... many people recommend Ashwangdha (I never tried it but friends use it). Push yourself to do those things that scare you or make you anxious.
Walk , get out in the fresh air and rest when you need to.
Sometimes people won’t be supportive and sometimes they won’t ... remember that they don’t have a small clue what you’re going through and your changeable moods will be confusing and unsettling. I see my family so hopeful when I manage a few new things and then I see the disappointinent when they catch me crying or having a bad day.
Please please stay away from these pills. Let your body do what it does and if your body doesn’t do what it needs to naturally then get your doctor to investigate why that is and don’t just take BC to plaster over what might be wrong. Always question your doctor if you don’t want to be on BC. There are other options !!!
Take care of yourselves and remember - You are a warrior for battling through this !!!!
