Ive been on birthcontrol for about 5 years and recently (as in sunday) decided to go off it so i can give my body a chance to self regulate. my question is what side effects can i expect by going off it? i feel depressed today and my mom said it's cause i went off it it. is that going to last a long time? and if it helps its lutera that im on. Thanks! (link)
I was on birth control for about 8 years and recently stopped. I was on a different brand but the things I experienced were my cramps hurt more, random spotting, my acne picked up, and moodiness. Also, at first the periods weren't really normal but after a while they became more regulated. Hope that helps!


In response to weight question: I haven't really noticed a weight difference. But it may differ from person to person and I wasn't on the same one. My doctor did mention to me that some birth control can cause increase in water weight.
