Hi Erin,

Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.

When a woman begins taking the pill her body goes thru changes like lighter periods and fewer cramps to name a few.

Likewise, when she stops taking birth control her body will respond to going off hornones,  Here are a few possible symptoms to be prepared for:

• Heavier periods / Worse cramps
• Lost of weight
• Breast shrinkage 
• More vaginal discharge
• Improved sex drive 
• Worse PMS symptoms
• Acne may return
• You become very fertile

I hope this helps.

Be well,
