How does your body react wh..

I have been taking b/c pills for 11 years. Now I am thinking to stop and try to have a baby. I have some health issues that I need to take care of but want to stop to use b/c and switch to other methods for now. I have heard that taking pill for years really messes up your system and you might have really bad painful periods, acne, etc? Anybody experienced that? Thanks

For me my periods have become longer lasting and heavier but that is to be expected. The other things have all been positives; I have noticed it's easier to maintain my weight and my sexual desire increased significantly.

i was on birth control for 4 years, as soon as i stopped taking it i missed my period for 3 months (believed i was pregnant, which is why i stopped taking b/c) gained 40 lbs and had bad acne for 3 years since, also i was diagnosed with polisystic ovarian syndrome and had not been able to get pregnant...being on the pill was the worst thing i could have done....im ready to have kids and its taking alot of money and time to reach that....goood luck to you

i was on birth control for about 4 years and when i quit taking it i got severe acne and i didn't receive my period for almost a year .. i went back on birth control to start my period again ... i'm sure everybody is different when coming off of birth control
