What to expect when you go off BCP?

Hello - newbie to this bump thing and technically not TTC yet, but am considering.  I'm familiar with the nest and have made a reappearance there recently. 

 Question: I've been on BCP for.... 13 years or so... and am considering going off in the next couple months.  I just thought I'd ask what changes I can expect physically, emotionally, etc....

 

Thanks in advance!

    When I went off before we had my daughter, I noticed that my periods were longer and heavier (lasting 5 or 6 days rather than 3) and weren't as exact as when on the pill. When I am on the pill I always know exactly when I will get it. Otherwise, no problems for me.

    I just went off the pill the beginning of December after taking it for about 13 years.  For my first two cycles I didn't notice any changes at all.  My last period was pretty brutal though.  I had terrible cramps, which wasn't a huge surprise considering that was why I initially started taking the pill.  It was also a heavier flow than before.

    I haven't noticed any changes in my skin, weight, or mood at this point.
