headaches

jlpev

Hello! This may be a stupid? But I've been off the pil for aboutb3 weeks & trying to get pregnant for almost 2 weeks. This week I've had aweful headaches & my boobs are tingling. Could this be hormones from just being off the pill? I didn't have these issues before with DS

Coming off the pill made me a damn hot mess.  Your body is trying to regulate itself and the hormones can make it tough sometimes.  I had all kinds of things going on and looking back through my cycles, it was 2 weeks before my period started on CD 35.  Just because you didn't have them before doesn't mean that this is something to read into.  Phantom symptoms can mess with your head, you just have to give it time to see what happens.  GL.

I had horrible headaches, mood swings and pms-type symptoms for 2-3 months after I got off BCP. Eventually, it will get better.

My first cycle off the pill was a hot mess as well.. I was SO bloated, crampy, dizzy, nauseous, breasts and nips were SO sensitive and tender.... It was crazy.  I was convinced I was KTFU because of all the craziness that was happening to my body.  But now I'm on my 2nd cycle, expecting AF in about 2 weeks and havent had any symptoms.  So yea, it's probably just from coming off the pill

Yea, I'm with you on that one.  My face is breaking out so bad, it's worse than high school.  It wasn't the best before BCP, but since stopping in November I think it's making up for lost time (the pill actually helped my skin).

I had an almost continuous nagging headache for about a month after coming off the pill.  It eventually went away, thank goodness, but the first month was kind of rough.  5 months later, I still have some changes that I dont like very much.....my skin is definitely more oily than it ever has been, and more of my hair comes out after washing/brushing it.   On the positive side, my sex drive is much better  ;-)
