Going Off Birth Control after 13 years - my very honest experience | viviannnv

[@diana3434]

The libido part is so true! I stopped taking birth control because I didn't want to have sex with my boyfriend anymore. People don't realize how important is that part for a healthy relationship and how many consequences could derive from the abscence of physical interaction. I felt that something was missing in my relationship and when I chose to stop taking the pill, I started to be sexually attracted to my boyfriend again and it felt so right and beautiful to me!

[@princessmoo4891]

It's really not that important lol, people just overinflate its importance because there's monetary gain through people being intimate.

[@loveforeva12]

YES! Please make a video about how you're using the Fertility Awareness Method or Natural Cycles method! I think it would be empowering for more women to know about their bodies and cycles and use these non-hormonal contraceptives to avoid pregnancy and even those trying to conceive as well.

Your story is inspiring!! So grateful that you’re doing well 🥹🤍

[@beingMarie]

This is so accurate! Honestly, I came off of BC because of you. It didn’t really click for me until I heard you’ve mentioned how depressed you were. I started tracking my habits. I was always tired, bloated, never wanted to exercise and I’ve put on weight. After coming off of BC for 6 months, I felt free. I am on the same page as you. I’ll never ever go back. I’m more active than ever. Thank you for sharing your journey. I appreciate you sharing this private personal part of your life.

Did you lose weight ?

[@beingMarie]

@@xp788 Yes I did. But I also workout 5 days a week. Before, didn’t matter how much I workout, I was not able to get toned. After I got off BC, I can finally see results.

[@chloerosewood]

Thank you for making this Vivian! 💛 My story is similar to yours, I quit a year ago and I'm never going back on it. My biggest concern was my mental health which has improved SO MUCH, I honestly haven't felt this happy. I was on birth control since I got my first period and I would consistently get depressive episodes that would last months but this past year is the longest I've live without depression in 11-12 years Best decision I've ever made

[@Elizabeth-M2024]

I’ve been on birth control for 5ish years and I’m thinking of going off it. Everything you described being on it is me. My libido is almost 0, I’ve gained so much weight, I have zero motivation, I’m sleeping more, etc… My fiancé and I do not want kids, and he’s been waiting to get ✂️, and after 11 months he finally has his consultation next month 🥳 once his procedure is done, I’m going off it for good and I’m planning to use the natural cycles app just in case, since vasectomies also aren’t 100%. But it’s so nice hearing I’m not alone in this journey and while I know this is your story and experience, I’ve heard so many other women say the same and I’m hoping it’s true for me too. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@myrnamanlapaz8235]

I ask if you have bleeding off the pill

[@abbey6324]

@myrnamanlapaz8235 hi! I got my period 5 weeks after I stopped taking the pill. Normal period. Lasted 6 days, heavy bleeding the 2nd and 3rd day. I rarely had cramps too. I had cramps on the pill. My cycle was 34 days. My app is suggesting it's going to be 32 days this time.

[@thedivinefeminine1821]

My mom is a medical underwriter, she's done that for a living for my entire life, and when she saw me becoming weirdly emotional/depressed (not normal for my personality) she told me flat out to get off the birth control because as an underwriter she sees patterns between the meds people take and the issues they end up complaining of... women on birth control she frequently saw them become depressed or complaining about it. And of course the doctor would say that's not from the pill... but I took her advice and low and behold, depression magically went away slowly, after a few months it was gone. I'm not interested in ever taking the pill again. All set. Great video. Also wanted to mention they have fertility watches now too for another option. Which is pretty cool

Wow thanks for being so honest and even blunt about the effects of Birth Control! The irony of recovering your sex drive after stopping is so opposite of one of the reasons of taking it in the first place. I guess we go back to living dangerously 🙂But I think the bottom line is managing your period and you're sooo lucky that it became regular! Oh one subject to touch upon if you want to is day to day safety. You're a beautiful woman and even getting gas or going to get groceries can get you into unwanted encounters. How do you deal with it to live a happy life? I'm not all that and I still have run ins...from annoying to terrifying. Anyway thank you for the variety of content hon, Love! :-))))))

[@toritosc]

I was on bc from 19-27, in the last 3 years I was really noticing how BAD it fucked up my libido. I'm also in a longterm relationship and had it in the back of my head that maybe that was just the way it is and I'm just not interested in sex anymore but I knew deep down there was no way that was the case bc I've always been somebody with a high libido. I got off of the pill because I wanted to fix that part of my life and I didn't want to have something unnatural in me anymore and it fixed it almost IMMEDIATELY after getting off lmfao. I'm 6 months off of it right now and my skin is PURGINGGG I have worse acne than I've ever had in my life but I'm trying to just stick it out and perfect my skincare routine because every other aspect of my life has improved from getting off of it!! this video was nice to see to hear that you were dealing with stubborn acne that you hadn't experienced previously and confirmed I just have to push through and eventually my skin will calm down

[@debmecca]

Funny enough, when I started getting severe symptoms of perimenopause, I asked my gyno to be put back on birth control at 48 years old after going off at 35 years old. My libido is strong, my hot flashes gone, more controlled hormones and highs and lows of emotions. I'm on a very low dose bc.

[@strongandhealthy1111]

I highly DO NOT recommend the copper IUD. Tried it for just 3.5 months and developed chronic headaches and insane bloating in my stomach that I am still working to get rid of till today, even after I got the copper IUD removed after the 3.5 months. While it may work for some it did not work for me so I highly encourage you to do your research and make sure to ask all the necessary questions to your practitioner prior to getting an IUD. In addition oral birth control pills gave me a bilateral pulmonary embolism (blood clots in my lungs) which almost killed me. Please be careful and cautious and know all potential risks of birth control prior to taking it, as I do feel many medical practitioners downplay the side effects of birth control and downplay the pain involved with IUD procedures.

[@zecorah]

Yepp went off it a month ago after being on it for 7 years… trying to conceive our first baby and my cycles are going to be just as irregular as they were before but I don’t want to go back on it in the future! Feel so much better regardless of Aunt Flo being late/not appearing just yet. It’s a blanket drug for hiding underlying issues in women. And yesss! Libido came back for me I was thinking the same thing with feeling asexual?? And going to the doctor asking why it’s so uncomfortable for me because of how dry I was and now I’ve done a backflip since going off 😂

[@fatemahal5605]

Thank you for sharing this, it has motivated me to stick to my goal to stop BC in a month. I went on it 5-6 years ago to treat my acne and have been scared to go off it. I have most of the symptoms you described and I cant wait to see how I go. Hoping for minimal purging or the strength to deal with it at least 😅

[@francheskaleah6093]

May I ask if you actually break out after all the pill?

[@rocket4444]

I was on the pill for 8 years, got off of it in early 2021, stayed off for a year, then got an IUD, and then got the IUD removed after 5 months. My hormones have been through it all!! I am so thankful to be off of those synthetic hormones though now. My mental health has improved drastically. Only thing is that getting the IUD taken out made me gain 10 lbs but I was underweight to begin with. The IUD gave me very bad acne... Cleared up quickly after I got it taken out.

[@zaranoori765]

How was IUD withdrawal for you? In regards to your body having received progestin for so long and suddenly not getting it anymore

[@zaranoori765]

And how were you coping emotionally

[@rocket4444]

​@@zaranoori765 For me personally I only felt relief when I got it out. My mental health improved, I experienced less brain fog, my libido went back to normal, and my acne cleared. I had Kyleena btw. The only thing is that it took my period several months to get back to normal and I get very severe cramps when I do get my period but only on the very first day. They are definitely painful if left untreated but Advil/Midol and a heating pad are all I need to knock the pain out completely. Also, post-IUD my periods got much heavier but shorter (only last 3 days on average). However I track my period with an app and the app has been extremely accurate for me and my cycle is completely back to normal now. So the biggest change that I noticed was really with my period. I honestly don’t mind the change because I prefer my body going through its natural process. Also the IUD did not fully take my period away. It just made my cycle extremely irregular. There were times when it made me get my period twice in 1 month. There were other months when I didn’t have my period at all.

[@ShayBlossom]

Wow I’m having the same symptoms, I got on after I have birth and I can tell my libido did go down and my boyfriend gets frustrated and it but I cant help it. Also I do feel dry too. I know for sure if I was single I would’ve been gotten off BC. I also gained A lot of weight and I feel like my metabolism slowed down significantly.

[@zecorah]

Yesss! Low libido and dry all the time now I’m off it and complete opposite 😂

[@liseagnant4161]

Started in my 40s , I would never in my childbearing years, I spent my 20s pregnant, I have 4 children. As I was entering peri menopause I started to have longer and heavier periods up to 2 weeks of heavy bleeding that affected every aspect of my life. I don’t think young girls and women should be on birth control in childbearing age, it’s a terrible idea! Some people like myself really need it though

[@bizcuitz]

People should know more about the hormonal iud like Kyleena. It’s still hormonal yes, but the doses it releases every day are so small and they’re released exactly where the hormones are needed (in uterus) so they’re not everywhere in your body the way pills and implant are. It is painful the first 6 months but afterwards it’s great. The pain during periods increases slightly (because of foreign object in your uterus and uterus is a muscle that contracts) but the bleeding stops almost completely. No need for tampons or even panty liners. Also 5 years no hassle and it’s pretty much as effective as sterilization. It’s probably worth a shot for those who don’t want to go back to condoms and can’t rely on natural methods but don’t want the excessive side effects of the pill either.

[@alessandraatzeni9415]

Hearing your experience is really so helpful. I'm out of birth control since December, I'm feeling a lot better on everything a part the skin. My skin is really really bad right now and I don't know what to do, I don't want to take the pill again, but I feel like all the Doctors keep pushing me to do so.

Damn, between all the collateral effects, I wish I lost libido! 😂 I've always have been a bit lazy & incline to depression, so it's a bit difficult to determine whether or not are influenced by the pill, but feeling tired even after sleeping 11 hours, CRAVINGS (which I now realize it's NOT me), gaining weight and no matter what you do you can't stop it...man, that was and IS awful. Because I can't even enjoy food without worrying. Even because my digestion hasn't been working regularly for the past 4 years, and when it does it's during the weekly pause from the pill. Not to mention, my grandparents and my mother suffered from varicose veins and I need to get checked. Some petechiae appeared right on corrispondence of those veins, and never went away but increased in the last 3 years, and those can be caused by a coagulation problem...Thank you for your video, It was helpful🩷💖

[@Ailuj13di]

Thank you so much for sharing! I was never on hormonal BC but I just wanan share my experienxe shortly with the copper IUD.. I had to take it out because it somehow irritated my uterus and my periods became sooo heavy literally to the point where it was uncontrollable and I couldn‘t leave the house for too long. And I had anemia twice during this time and had to get extremely expensive iron transfusions. I‘m sure it had to to with the heavy bleeding because I didn‘t have it since. So then my boyfriend and I spoke to a professional and had to find out that hormonal BC is defenitely NO option. It was scary to see the graphs she showed of how the normal hormonal distribution in a woman is, compared to on birth control. So we are just back to using condoms and it‘s fine for us but I think I wanna learn more about my natural cycle, so that we don‘t rely on condoms all the time. On the other hand the copper IUD works well for my friend, so different experiences for different bodys!

I’ve been off birth control for a little over a year now too. I’m not even gonna lie, I tried every single type of birth control method there is. I was on birth control since I was 15 and I am now 29. I absolutely hated all of them. Weight gain, no libido, crazy mood swings, no periods, all the bad. Only good thing was I never got pregnant. After being off of birth control, it’s been amazing! However, my period is still not back to normal. It used to be super regular prior to bc, but now it’s irregular and only lasts two days. Which I don’t mind at all. But it seems like our experience with bc is so similar! Crazy the things we do to our bodies!!!

While you mention that you’re not a professional and simply sharing your negative experience from the pill, I can’t help but feel that this video is geared towards a negative view of birth control. It can scare young girls who are looking to seek birth control. With the correct usage and dosage it can be very beneficial as it is the safest contraceptive with added benefits such as alleviating cramping, clearing skin, lighter amount during period etc

[@curly364]

I've been on the pill for almost 17 years after i had my son. I didn't want to go on it due to possible weight gain. I developed multiple chronic health issues around the time i started birth control. I was terrified to go off of it because i had such a hard pregnancy but since I'm married now and have gained weight over the years im just trying anything to see if it helps with some of my symptoms. It's been two weeks since i finished my pack. So far I've had more frequent mild headaches and lower stomach cramps the last 3 days. I'm not sure if these are from my horimones trying to adjust or just my chronic health issues. I haven't had sex since off but i plan to use vcf gel and try to track my cycles when it starts to regulate. I tried to get Phexxi but my insurance denied it. My periods were infrequent but extremely light while on the pill and before so at 36 i have no idea what to expect but i guess i will find out. Hopefully things improve for me.

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this! I’m also 25 and I’ve been taking BC since I was 16, I’m so ready to get off of it but so terrified of the heavy periods. Did you find that your bleeding decreased in terms of heaviness post BC or do you still have days where it’s heavy?

i didn't have an issue with that! i went from having pretty much no period to having a more normal cycle with ~2-3 days of average - heavy period bleeding. hope this vid helps with your decision!

from my knowledge and reading the Period Repair Manual, when tend to bleed more heavily when you're younger and less as you mature. From my personal experience of getting off BC at 27 years old, my periods were not heavy but I also utilized the information in that mentioned Manual to help keep my hormones stable to negate immediate effects of getting off BC

Rebalancing your hormone s after being on a birth control pill takes longer than two Months . Even longer depending on how long you’ve been on it

[@dallymagno]

Wow! You started early 😳

[@AD-lm5ni]

How long did it take for your libido to come back?

[@kendalcruz7418]

I'm worried if I get off birthcontrol I'll lose interest in my fiance... I love him just worry myself will do a 180 and change

[@jenniferdang2013]

Getting my IUD soon😬😬

Weight loss? I've gained over 40 lbs in two years, my mental and emotional state are worse than ever before to the point of wanting to take my life and I even have acne on both of my arms something I didn't get while I was a teenager

What was the contraceptive that was 98% effective ?

[@banmalbrit]

I am actually the opposite. I never used birth control (except once) and am finally able to start with the hopes it'll stop the excruciating pain I get on my periods. I tried the Depo shot once and it destroyed me and I became a completely different person that I did not recognize. I want to try again though so I went to a different doctor and finally have something new.

[@elizabmth]

i’m finally going off birth control after being on the depo shot for over 4 years without knowing it’s not a good long term option and i have been thinking about trying natural cycles so i would love to see a video from you about it!! 🫶🏽 ty for sharing!

[@Chaucer129]

I appreciate your honesty Viv!

[@viviannnv]

tysm for your kind words!! It truly speaks volumes. 🥹🫶🏼✨

[@Infinettte]

The acne part. I’ve been off of birth control twice for long periods of time, the first being the pill and my skin was at its best. The second time when I had my IUD removed (a year and a month ago), my skin has been at it’s worst. The most painful hormonal acne along my jaw and cheeks. A lot better now than how it was in the last 8 months, but still bad. Trying to push through it 🥲
