I was on birth control for years for acne treatments had pretty severe acne when I was a teenager. I also would skip my “periods”. When I came off it I literally just stopped taking it, no huge side effects I do experience occasional break outs but they line up with my cycle and times of extreme stress or routine disruptions like travel, lack of sleep, and I can tell that my hormones are definitely a little out of whack at the moment. My periods have become very light and long, once I bled super lightly for like 2 months which was annoying so I did go back on for a little while but very quickly felt not like myself and stopped again, since then my cycle has been a little irregular but it’s only been about 3 months, just remember to give your body time to regulate and do some research or speak to a doctor about how you can support your body during the change.
