I was curious.
Long story short...I started periods when 11 but they were always irregular (several months between or several in one month), had severe cystic acne, etc.
Went on the pill at 18, and things seemed okay. I was on depo four years ago, switched to the pill for a year, depo for one year, and I've been back on the pill for almost a year now.
I got back on the pill because I noticed a 15 lbs weight gain in like 2 months on depo and breakouts were BAD. I thought the pill would fix it but since then I either don't have periods or they are only 2 days (but I get really unbearable cramping), but I did lose weight the first 2 months. My breakouts are bad(mainly on my chin), gained 14 lbs in 2 months just recently(LC is the only way I have been able to lose the weight), have a really bad upper lip mustache (and I'm all around a furry gal), skin tags are coming back (had a bunch removed about 4 years ago) and feel like my body is on a roller coaster. These are all things I haven't really experienced before or at least all together.
I know...talk to my doctor, which I have an appointment later this month. I'm just curious if anyone noticed symptoms while on the pill. It's been so long since I've been off, I'm thinking about going off to see what my body does but I'm not ready to get preggo. Thanks. (okay and the story wasn't so short) :p
