Count me in on the pizza face. However, mine started as soon as I got off of BCPs. Even though the more frequent breakouts are a pain in the booty, I'll take it anyday over going back on the dreaded Pill!

I hear you on that one! Not only did I start breaking out when I went on the pill, but I also went crazy!! I would at work and just think about how I'm going to go home and scream at my husband and kick him out. And this would be caused by him not putting his dirty socks in the basket or something ridiculous like that..

I thought I was alone in this one!! I had a MC 2 years ago, and ever since then my entire body has been mad at me...especially my face. I went to a dermatologist and got prescribed some antibiotics, but threw them away when we decided to TTC...not good for baby, so pizza face is here to stay
Our #2 is on the way!
BFP #1 - 08.2008, EDD 3.19.09 - Missed MC at 9 weeks - 09.2008
Yep, me too. And the back and shoulders as well. Argh. I just had an appointment with a dermatologist and we'll see if the stuff works that she gave me.

I usually got pizza-face mid cycle (or so I'm assuming since it was always 2 weeks before AF) in the past. I got so aggravated about it that I finally caved in and started on Proactiv. Nothing since and it's been 2 months, I swear by it now.
OMG, I feel your pain. I had an occasional zit or two in high school but once on BC, never a problem. Now that I am off of the pill, I have MAJOR zits on my face, neck, and chest. I can feel a big one coming in on my chin as I type...grrr.

yes - ME - and I am almost 30! My face has been so bad for the past 2-3 months - yes, I am also on clomid. I don't know what to do...not sure what I should try. I've been thinking of trying proactive or something!
My doc prescribed an antibiotic lotion a while back and I swear it worked like nothing else. It is called clindamycin phosphate and is a 1-2% lotion. Since I had awful adult acne for so many years, these are some other things that worked really well for me (and I still use): Neutrogena's On The Spot Acne Treatment (tube of pasty stuff you put on before your moisturizer), Biore's Ice Cleanser, Bare Minerals Blemish Therapy (mineral powder with sulphur in it- use it under makeup) and DDF's Ultra Gentle Peel. Hope this helps!
Yes, 2 months off bcp and I am definitely breaking out. It isn't awful but I have one on my chin that my son called "mommy's boo boo" so it is pretty obvious! He wanted to give my boo boo a kiss - ewwwwwwwwwww.
I don't get as "Much" acne now, but I get those nasty GIANT red bump pimples that just hurt and will never pop. I think I'd rather have more small ones that I can cover up easy....
Although I still get body "acne". But its not really acne now, they are like allergy bumps. But they look exactly like acne so its SO embarrassing! But they are just red bumps (not white heads).
