My Tuesday post-BCP question

Alright. I have been not taking the pills for two weeks on Sunday.

And I look like a damn 13 year old who rolled in pizza grease.

Can someone please tell me that this is a result of the "leveling out" process and will go away? I usually break out, but it hasn't been this bad, in..well...since I was 13 lol.

I would, but you've seen my face.  The only thing that helped me was the combination of $50 face wash from Burke Williams and being pregnant.  Sorry :-(

My skin went wonky beyond belief for the first couple of months post depo...

I still have more acne now than I did when I was on it, but it got itself MUCH better after I 'leveled out'

My face was awful when I went off bcp.

I started washing my face daily with a foam cleanser, followed by toner and moisturizer. Every other day I start with an apricot scrub, then the normal routine. My face is so much better now. I still break out here and there, but it's not too bad.

Good luck!

My skin absolutely HATES the lack of BCP hormones. At least now it clears up after I've ovulated (or had a progesterone script) - it was hell before they got me to ovulate.

I'm sorry-I quit BCP in Jan 2007, and I still have acne issues. PNVs help a little. The only time I'm completely acne-free is if I'm on antibiotics for a UTI.
