Hey!
I know similar questions have been asked all over the Internet so I apologise for asking again...
I've been on Diane/Estelle-35 since I was 15 and originally went on it for acne. I'm now 23 and I've recently done some research and for a number of reasons I've decided that I'm going to come off it. Basically I want to know if anyone else was in the same situation (been on the pill since basically the start of puberty and then come off it mid 20s) and what happened? Am I going to turn into some crazy moody monster while my body goes back to normal? Will my acne come back? Are my boobs going to shrink (I'm 5 ft 2, very petite, and I'm currently a C/D cup... but my mum was an A until she got pregnant so the odds don't really seem in my favour haha!)? I understand everyone is different so there's no right or wrong answer but I just want to be prepared for what might come.
Also I used to be really fit and have a TON of hair up until 15, but then I started getting really bad dizzy spells and faintness and had reduce my exercise and my hair is really slow growing and thin now...I've traced this back and it all really started around the time I started on the pill. Is this just a coincidence or could the pill have something to do with it? And will this go away when I come off? I've never thought to question the pill until now, I just always assumed it was something else like a deficiency or something even though tests always came back normal.
Anyway I think that's all!
Thank you in advance :)
