Madison Dohnt I did a couple of years ago and I got acne pretty bad too. I’m back on it now for contraception reasons but early next year I’m going to transition off it again with the help of my Acupuncturist and fingers crossed I don’t go through that horrible acne phase again.
@@jennaw3100 Yes I think it is a great idea to get acupuncture when you get off. I'm not sure scientifically how it all works yet or whether it was the natural supplement that I'm going to talk more about next week but I saw that a lot of women are recommended acupuncture for their hormone balancing. Good luck! I will be here for you if you have any troubles
Madison Dohnt it all confuses me haha but I think it’s good to be guided by someone when your doing it and that’s something I didn’t do last time. My Acupuncturist recommended I hold off because I have a sluggish liver and need to sort that out first so I will just follow her advice and see how I go. I will definately continue with the licorice tea though and maybe look into the supplement that you will talk about next week 😊 glad to hear your on top of everything though and it’s awesome that you are providing your experience with everyone so we can work through it together x
Yes I think that is great advice! I got my gut health sorted with probiotics after going off doxy before I then went of the pill. Couldn't do it all at once - body would freak out like it did the first attempt haha Yes please let me know what you think of the video next week when it comes out :) Keen to see what you think! Are you over on my insta community? Would love to support each other more! x
I've been off the pill for over a year and I'm still suffering post pill acne! I had my hormones tested and they're so unbalanced. Pretty scary. Some great tips here. Thank you!
Aw I am sorry to hear! But in a way it is good that you've had the tests and know your imbalances! Are you doing/ taking anything to balance them? Which of your hormones were out of balance? I just posted a new video about the natural supplement I use to balance mine that might be able to help you, just make sure it doesn't interfere with anything else you're taking! x
@@MadisonDohnt my progesterone was really low, estrogen really high and was body was showing levels of inflammation and stress! Yup I'm taking supplements from a NZ brand bepure. My skin isn't perfect, but it has significantly cleared. I've watched yout new video. It was great. Thank you 😚
@@kaitlynbaldwin5560 Without asking a silly question, and me assuming you are based in NZ, where did you go to get your hormones tested? I live in NZ, do I get this test done at the doctors or somewhere more specialised? Thanks!
@@katherinerybinski8428 yup I'm in NZ. My first Hormone test I did was through Eve Health , it's a sister brand to BePure and the second I did self referral at Medlab.
I have stopped taking the pill and had my first period only 37 days later! Over the moon! Only lasted 3 days with just a bit of cramping on the first day!
Another great video, thank you. This is something I will have to go through as still haven’t made the jump to coming off the pill so found this video very informative
Natalie you are so so kind! Thank you so much for watching my videos and I'm so glad you find them so insightful! You will smash it when the time comes 😊 Do you mind if I ask your biggest take away from the video? x
The 'periods' you get on the pill are not real periods. They are withdrawal bleeds. I stopped the pill 8 months ago and only now feel like I'm starting to get back to normal. I got my period back straight away but my skin has been all over the place!
For some reason I thought you went off it at the end of last year? Idk why I thought that! So you have only just came off it 6 weeks ago? Great that you got your period so quick! Iv been off a week now so eager to get mine. It took a month las time so hoping this time will be the same! X
Haha you were probably thinking about when I tried to change pills at the end of last year. Basically I'd heard the high Estrogen pill had worse side effects which is why I tried to go down to a lower strength pill but broke out severely. Once I cleared that acne I then attempted to go off it all together and was successful because it did it with the right supplements and education this time :) Just posted my next video about what supplement I used actually!
Been off for 2 weeks. Waiting for my period to start. My hormones are all the place. Also acne on my chin is bad. I'm turning 40 and I just don't feel like the pill is good for me. Had so many side effects. Hope to balance my hormones naturally
@@zuzannaborzecki6877 it has cleared up! My period is coming regularly and I get a pimple or two right before it starts. I'm so glad I stopped BC. Feeling better in a lot of ways
Jebe Jaray how long were you in the pill because I’ve been on it for 3 years now and I’m only 17. I wanna get off it but terrified that my acne will get worse and I won’t be able to manage it
@@zuzannaborzecki6877 I have been off and on for years. I got back on about 5 years ago to help with my pcos symptoms. So this time around I'd been on 5 years before stopping
The pill come out in 1961 in the UK I was on the pill for nearly 15 years and I've just come off it I started suffering breathing problems and really bad bloated
Same here. Super bloated today, and many days. Have difficulty getting a “full breath” often, but that is something I’ve had off and on before too. Been off for 4 weeks.
@@SDaulton I started with breathing problems about 2017 and diszze spells it's been 3 weeks since I've come off the pill and what a difference it's made no breathing problems no bloating I felt great mentally on the pill and off the pill it's nice to have my body going back to normal I should have done it sooner 😁
I’m so glad I came across your video as I’m doing some research in terms of affects after coming off the pill. I have been on it for 4-5 years and also recently got out of a long term relationship. Did you just suddenly stop at some point or did you wait until your period finished from the sugar pills to then stop taking the active pills? Not sure how to go about it
I've been of the pill for about 2 months now and waiting for my second period. I already had a tendency to get acne but getting older it naturally got less. HOWEVER since coming off I have TONS of small acne now. Do u know if that will get less over time? I did not change anything about my diet or suffered from more stress. Love your videos
@@farahinjame9784 went better and went better! Maybe also getting older, I'm 22 now. But now I'm back on birth control (nuva ring). Has few hormones, my menstruation got way too heavy without any
I'm 21 and I've had acne for around 10. It's getting worse and worse so I'm going to see my doctor next week to discuss. For the last year I've wanted to go of hormonal birth control. I used the pill for a few years and now have an IUD. The only reason that I haven't gotten my IUD out is because I don't want to get pregnant right now, ofcourse. I'm too young to fully trust on barrier methods and I've read that an copper IUD has a risk of causing infertility. Does anyone have advise for non-hormonal birth control if you don't want to get pregnant?
I think my acne is hormone based, its hard to determine the root cause, but I can't see what else it could be. I was on the pill for 10 years, came off around 18 months ago and my acne is still pretty bad. I've been vegan for several years, I've done a bunch of dietary supplements, skin care routines, taking pro-biotics, cutting sugar and carbs from my diet, etc. I can't afford the hormone tests you've spoken about before, what can I do to balance hormones without knowing exactly what the imbalance is, or whether that is truly the problem? :/
The root cause of your skin issue is your diet. You are probably suffering from hyperthyroidism. Your body is constantly in a battle with all the natural pesticides, oxalates etc plus all the carbs you consume nonstop. It's a natures way of saying you are not healthy. You should really listen to some of these carnivore doctors that explain it in detail why you are having the issue that you are suffering from. Being vegan is noble and all but it's as far away from our natural ancestrial diet as possible hence all the nowadays health problems.
Thanks for watching guys! Have you tried going off the pill before? Was it a good experience or a negative one?

I'm 37 and everytime I come off the pill within 3 months my acne is back.
So true that period is a great indicator of many things! Great you got yours back so quickly :)
It's crazy isn't it! Thank you so much for the kind words :)
Great video! Coming off the pill was one of the best decisions I have made and I love the fact that I now have normal periods once again 🙌🏻❤️
Did you come off recently? I just came off a few days ago and feel fine but wondering if it's too early for me to experience the symptoms lol
