GENERAL: Symptoms since stopping birth controlFrom: Jen (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:29:54 -0500 (CDT)
About a year ago I stopped taking birth control. My husband and I decided to start a family. We have since rethought that decision and decided not to. Since being off the bc, I have gained about 40 pounds. I have acne that nothing will help on my face, chest, and back. My cycle fluctuates between 4-7 weeks. And I'm starting to get dark hair on my neck. I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday, but I have gotten to the point where all these symptoms are depressing me way too much. All I want to do is sit at home and cry. I haven't changed my lifestyle at all. I still eat the same things at the same times and in the same way. But my weight just keeps going up. There was a point where I was dieting and exercising and I kept gaining weight. And I have never had acne this sever in my life. The cysts form under the skin and I know that area's going to look bad for at least 2-3 weeks. I never know when to expect my period - sometimes it's very light (like right now), and others I feel like I am having my insides torn out. And then the hair. I feel like a monster. Does this sound like a particular disease to anyone? Am I just gross? Will I get better? Anyone else have these problems? Thank you.
