What to expect when stopping bc? Venting// Hi, I am going to stop birth control right now cuz I wanna see how I feel differently without it mentally, plus I noticed I was secretly gaining a bit of weight which isnt the main reason for stopping but i also like how clear and light maintenance my skin was. Main reason is cuz I feel like I havent been able to feel 100% horny which is kind of miss. And my mental health as well has gotten worse I think. Im not really sure how to weigh out the pros and cons but i just wanna enjoy myself again. Sidenote: how do i ask my bf to introduce toys into our routine without offending him? 💤‼️💊💊⚠️💊⚠️💊⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️💊💊⚠️⚠️💊⚠️💊💤💤💤💤💤💤 Brand: Marvelon

Are you going to be able to routine yourself into using condoms right away? Because it might be a good idea to take another month of pills while you get used to condoms again. I don’t know if you had any sex during your break week then that will not be covered for if you quit now. As for the toys, if your boyfriend thinks toys are a threat then that is entirely his own problem and there’s nothing you can do. Toys are an enhancement to your sex life, not a threat. I’ve never had a boyfriend who was against it, if anything they should want to please you in every way possible; toys included.

I stopped taking the pill in May and personally I don’t feel any different mentally. But everyone reacts differently. Bear in mind that it can take up to a year for your natural periods to fully regulate after stopping. During that time cramps, irregular bleeding, mood swings etc is normal. For the sex toys bit just ask him what he thinks about incorporating sex toys and go from there.

Just keep in mind there will be an adjustment period after coming off where side effects like changes to skin, cramps, bleeding etc are possible
