I went off the pill 9 months ago after about 6 years on it (im 31). I definitely saw a lot of positive changes from the beginning but my skin broke out terribly and i've never had acne, even as a teen. It's calmed down a lot now but i'm not out of the woods. Still glad to have gone off it and charting my cycle has worked great for me. Now hoping to have a baby within the next year. I enjoyed a lot of benefits from being on the pill but I also feel like i'm back in my body and mind in a lot of ways. I don't intend to use hormonal contraception again in the future.

when did the acne started? got off the pill 2 months ago and still nothing and I'm worried the acne will come :(

Just to balance things out I must admit I was put on the pill by my GP as I suffered from such severe menstrual cramps at 22 that I vomited if I didn't get painkillers early enough. I didn't even need birth control at the time but the benefits for me far outweighed any mild side effects I had. We're all different and what works for one won't necessarily work for another x

[@zaynabdaniyal4316]

I agree the pill does work for other reasons other than contraception. I've always had extremely heavy periods and extremely bad period pains however being on the pill ( for contraception reasons) has completely calmed it down and I have normal periods now and normal pains, some months on the pill I won't even get a period. In that sense for me it is so much better for me to be on the pill however since being on the pill it has effected my mood drastically and makes me feel ill. Everything works different for different people, I had the iud implant 2 times and that just made me bleed even heavier than my bad periods, were as some women get no bleeding at all, just depends on how it reacts to the body.

[@janac5839]

I had the same pain and vomiting up until my early 20s. I was on bc and it helped but then I decided to stop around the same time I stopped eating dairy to clear my skin and started eating more fruit and veggies and supplements. The period pain went away and so did the sinus infections and allergies I used to get every year. Not sure if they are related or if I just grew out of it 🤷🏼‍♀️ but might be worth a try. Turns out I was allergic and didn’t know it. I never had tummy issues and it took a long time to figure out. Mid 30s now and debilitating cramps are no longer part of my life, and I haven’t had a sinus infection or allergies in almost 10 years and my skin has stayed clear!

[@mademoisellesachaaa]

It takes a long time for hormone levels to circulate through the body and to drop, it can take a few months, so you could continue to see the impacts and experience changes. I personally went off of birth control in February and I found it took me about 4 months to really feel like it wasn't impacting me anymore. Everyone is different, I definitely thought it was smooth sailing and then 2 months after I went off there were some noticeable changes again. It's amazing how long those things can have an influence on our bodies.

I had the implant for 3 years before my first baby and thought I had minimal side effects but when I had it removed and then got pregnant I felt like I was so much happier and the ‘best version’ of me, after breastfeeding I went onto the mini pill and within 2 weeks I was miserable, the hormones really messed me up! So I came off it and I’ve been so much happier being able to track my periods and mood without artificial hormones. I am pregnant again now with my second child but it was planned and we found it fairly easy to be ‘safe’ and not get ‘accidentally’ pregnant until we were ready. Definitely won’t be having hormonal contraception ever again!

I also went off the pill back in June and I was SUPER itchy for a couple weeks. I had no idea it was hormones balancing. I thought I was eating something I was having a reaction to and then all of a sudden, no itchiness. It did take me an additional month to get my period back which surprised me, but I feel pretty normal now that I've been off for almost three months (after thirteen years of use). I started to get a lot of noticeable depression and anxiety two years ago and just hated how I was feeling. I didn't know the pill was behind most of my health complaints until my Dr educated me more in-depth about side effects this past Spring. I'm very happy I stopped it. I hope it makes you feel better as well!

[@amberfoster8089]

No way would I poison my system long term on the pill...for a man. Lots of side effects, body/mood changes etc. The man remains unchanged. If a family is complete the husband/partner should have a simple snip. We give the gift of children to them, it's the very least they can do 🤣❤️❤️

[@genevieve6983]

I absolutely support your choice and agree with the reasoning, but perhaps "poison my system" is not the right terminology... Many of us on the pill use it to control or help with the medical conditions. They're not poison, you're not doing anything wrong by taking them, and you're not being "bad" to your body! If you are in a heterosexual relationship and your family is complete, we definitely need to eradicate this harmful idea that women are fully responsible for the couple's reproductive health, but we also need to put more research into birth control pills with fewer side effects. =)

Good for you, Anna! ❤️ Coming off birth control was one of my best decisions ever! Without even really noticing, on the pill I became emotionally unstable, I gained 7 kgs within 2-3 years (mind you, I started with 50 kgs, so this is kind of a big change percentage-wise), and I was just fully not myself. Back when I started taking the pill I didn't know that there were other possibilities, but there are! The pill is a great possibility, and it can work marvelously for some, but I wish society would educate women more on every option, not just a few. I've been following the Sensiplan method for over a year now, which is a scientifically studied double-check fertility awareness method, which is proven to be over 99% effective - which is about the same as the pill. I'm much more in touch with my body, I lost all the weight in 12 months without doing anything differently, and most importantly, my emotions are back to normal and I feel like myself again. Disclaimer: I don't consider weightgain a bad thing, but when you put artificial hormones in your body and it makes you gain a ton a weight, that is just not your body's natural state.

[@linneaandthecoffee]

I also went off the pill little over a month ago. At first I didn't notice a huge change but my husband said I wasn't as easily stressed (and we've been house hunting which is stressful) and when my period came back I realised I didn't get angry at the kids so easily anymore and I could control my temper much better, plus my self-esteem came back after have been at rock bottom for at least a year which felt wonderful!

I find it hard to see those kids who in some ways should still be playing with toys etc being moulded into a world where they feel they must look perfect, and then how much make up they are putting on their young skin. If I watch a family type vlog especially, I couldn't give two hoots if they are dressed up to the nines or wearing pj's with last night's dinner dropped down. I want the reality, the raw. So I find it refreshing to see you happy to wander about in your pj's letting the dogs out, no make up, hair undone... It is real, it is beautiful.

I hate being on the pill I feel so down all the time, so tired I don't even know how to explain it, ive tried 3 different kinds of pills and I just feel so bad and depressed. I don't really want to use contraception anymore,because I think it messes with your body to much and just makes you feel crap, I keep thinking I'm only 22 and can't imagine being on contraception for the next 20 years or so it makes me feel even more depressed, my hubby won't get a vesectomy either, he wants me to get my tubes tied which is obviously something I don't wanna do at 22, even though I'm pretty certain we be having any more kids as we have one of each now. But obviously I'm 22 in the future I could change my mind. get so angry some times that he won't even consider a vesectomy, yet complains so much about my mood swings on contraception and can see the mental and physical problems it's giving me. It's so easy for men.

[@nicholebradshaw5687]

You should talk to your doctor about a non-hormone IUD. Maybe the implant was too much for your body after kids and was causing heavier periods. I'm all for not adding extra hormones if you can help it. This worked wonders for a friend of mine who was pretty certain she was done having kids as well but didn't want to tie her tubes just yet. I hope you find what works for you. I know all too well about heavy bleeding, endometriosis, and PCOS. I ended up having to have a full hysterectomy at 37. Since they took my ovaries, I wear an estrogen patch since it's way too early for my body to go thru menopause. And yes, men need to step up. It's easier for them to get a reversal. Tube ties are usually permanent!

@@nicholebradshaw5687 is the iud the coil?

Thank you for the advice. My mum had her tubes tied at 28 and she has always regretted it as she wanted more children after. I don't think it would be something I'd be able to go through at any stage of my life unless necessary.i wish they would come up with some other kind of contraception for men 😂

[@nicholebradshaw5687]

Yes, it is sometimes referred to as a coil. I think it all depends on the doctor putting it in. My friend was able to go back to work the same day. She had some mild cramping but nothing like childbirth. I don't even think they were as bad as her regular period cramps. I think some doctors are just more gentle than others. Also, if you're as relaxed as possible, it will probably hurt less since your muscles won't be tense. There are several different ones on the market. Here is a great article I found about different types of IUDs available outside of the US. Maybe the pain at insertion was caused from it being to big for her uterus. Definitely ask lots of questions. We, as women, have to be our own advocates for many things. www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/523077/

The pill masked the fact I actually had no period (fake period on the pill) and it took me 3.5 years to fall pregnant naturally. Best thing I ever did was come of the pill. Wasn’t an easy journey at all to regaining my period but it’s the best thing I ever did. Now I have my perfect little girl and she was worth all the ups & downs to get here! 💗

[@clairecady2932]

Have you considered the copper coil? It’s completely hormone free. Worked for me for the last 10 years. x

[@AlexSandra2525]

So how does it work?

[@Samantha-bd6wl]

Hi anna you are really a big inspiration for me thank you for showing me how to love my body that i don’t have to be tiny to be happy 🥰 lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@kristinablocher7679]

Yesss the bedtime check in was always my favorite part of your wiaw videos. Do you still use the vita liberata face serum? Your tan is so even, including your face, updated tanning routine? 🙂💜

[@lizcrotts1913]

Lovely video, Anna! I don't blame you about stopping the pill, glad you're feeling more like you!

[@MeltedMess]

Anna I would love to see a closer haul with your new pieces and how you organize it!! Love your style💜💜

[@Ashleigh_Jay]

I love hearing about people’s experiences going off the pill. I stopped mine three months ago due to migraines. I’ve ended up with some hairline pimples and a few on my back... hoping this is as bad as it gets! I’ve never had back pimples ever! I hope you can share your experience a few months on top :)

[@katherinecollins4685]

Anna is so good at vlogging, the music was so relaxing at the start. All the kids are so cute

[@robertad242]

Alessia laughing is my favorite thing 😂❤️

[@jessicabartels5739]

Also coming off of BC! I started taking a generic of Loestrin this past winter and have not felt well since being on it. I’m now 36ish hours without it and already feel a difference.

[@sankey1988]

It's so funny you mentioned coming off the pill. I've been thinking of going back on it because my periods are atrocious and I can't cope with them anymore. Would Jonathan consider having a vasectomy? My hubby is all for it but it's an expensive procedure that we'd need to save up for. Wishing you the best of luck hormone free it really is the best way ❤️

[@TheSophiiieee]

Hello and welcome to “wad a date Wednesday!!!!” My favourite words😂 To anyone else reading this, happy hump day😇 Half way through the week, and if you’re anything like me it’s WINE WEDNESDAY😂 (and eat out to help out am I right??) I hope everyone is well, stay safe and remember to keep smiling! Lots of love, a small time KZbinr trying to spread positivity❤️❤️

[@stephn112]

I completely understand wanting to come off the pill. I wish I could go off it completely. I've done so on and off but it's difficult with my PCOS. The pill helps with my hormonal imbalance. Without it I get depressed, emotional, etc. I don't like taking it but in my case it's necessary at this point so I can feel like myself the downside is the weight gain and difficulty losing it..

[@Alternativebandaid]

Omg❤️ Anna's face without makeup is stunning 😍💜

[@kimberlylindsey8144]

You don't get a "period" on your pill... even if you experience bleeding. You don't ovulate so there's no "period" either way.

[@dryade84]

I stopped birth control years ago... Best decision I have ever made... First it was hard... But after a while, your body knows what to do.. Everything gets better and normal. Good luck with it :)

[@maikea.9566]

Feeling good, like i should 🧡🧡👍🏼 Wo thought about the song, the second Anna said feeling good ?😁😁

[@loveoftheladel]

Exactly the same problem Anna!!! I have the non hormonal coil. I would rather put up with the PMS than feel hormonal and awful ALL the time!!! X

[@AlexSandra2525]

I recommend primrose oil in high amounts, such 1500mg daily and magnesium, less cramps and breast pain, honestly.

[@elinamaar]

It took my body several months to find a balance after taking years and years of bc pills. I think it was close to six months when I felt completely out of any weird/big/small symptoms I had when I went off of them. It was so worth it tho, I will absolutely never go back. Good luck on your journey, give your body and your mind time to adjust 😊

[@jadeevelynng4960]

Thank you for your update. You also early 8:30pm. I have just finished watching your video which is it 00:40 in Hong Kong. All the best to you and all at home 🥰

[@miiamighty]

Anna, maybe you could consider using a copper IUD! It has no hormones and lasts up to 10 years :) I like it a lot

[@sabrinam3198]

Definitely agree with the IUD route! I chose the Kyleena 5 year coil, which is super low dose of hormones and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. No side effects (for me) and it’s no hassle at all. Such a relief after trying the pill and having severe depression from it!! The thought of getting a coil freaked me out initially, but I wouldn’t go back to anything else.

[@aleksandramajsterek8727]

Sick idea! People who really belive in Jesus dont do that way! If you want go to HELL FOR DO THIS ok,but dont tell her do this

[@DANNYTHEFROG123]

I didn't read anywhere in my Bible that you have to have 25 kids or you go to help. You don't make that decision God does. Don't cast stones because I'm sure a few could be thrown your way.

[@DANNYTHEFROG123]

Hell

[@AL-nh6zm]

@@sabrinam3198 did you not experience any acne? I was about to get the Kyleena but then when I started looking it up so many people said that they got bad acne from it that I ended up sticking to the pill... You're the first person that I see saying they didn't get side effects from it

[@dianemilligan7370]

You’re the Best Anna! Love your polka dot pjs!

[@aadilah1996]

I would love to keep updated about your experience off the pill! I stopped it 5 months ago because the water retention was swelling my feet and then the obvious weight gain. I didnt feel like myself. Not too much has changed since but I hear it takes about 6 months to leave your body

[@KarinDentamaro]

What is the name of the first song in the video? It’s beautiful!

[@TommyJordanRE]

*My wife got off birth control and we ended up with another baby, but he's a blessing haha :)!*

[@surlespasdondine]

haha that's why my husband got a vasectomy-best thing ever!

[@TommyJordanRE]

surlespasdondine lol I’m scared of doing that. We want 4 in total so I have two more to go before that happens 😆

[@surlespasdondine]

@@TommyJordanRE not scary at all, my husband said it was nothing, like going to the dentist. Nothing compared to what women go through😉

[@earthmoonstars2013]

The Jordan Fam your wife giving birth is far more invasive than getting a vasectomy

[@TommyJordanRE]

@@surlespasdondine that's good to know thank you for the pep talk haha, I know women are incredible I could never do what my wife does!

[@KP-vq9cc]

I’m on a diet and living vicariously through Anna’s what I ate Wednesdays!❤️

[@aniaphotouk]

I used to be on that pill too and it makes me more alive when I'm off it now. I have highs and lows, ( energuly, moods)just more alive. 😘

[@rachaelgrant6813]

Im like where was Eduardo when anna needed an intro partner he is the king of helping anna with her intro, hehe xxx

[@cayleerhoades600]

Can you do a parenting questions video. I think it would be so interesting. Because I have a main question on which child was the hardest to potty train. And what did you guys do that worked help it along?

[@tofitlinda]

I understand that feeling because am going through it. In as much as I like the menstrual flow not coming regularly because I do have painful menstruation. But at the back of my head I do feel uncomfortable and worry alot if I don't see it. Currently am on the contraceptive implant called the (Nexplanon).. The itchy part I totally understand because i do get it on several occasion. All I can say is do whatever that makes you happy and comfortable.

[@mingcutie104]

Anna looks so beautiful without makeup! 😍😍

[@Smileelee]

Have you tried the mirena coil! I had such a difficult time with the pill and after my kiddies I didn’t want to put myself through the pill again and was suggested the coil. I can honestly say it’s been the best decision ever!! 😁

[@aliciastimson5120]

Have you changed your shampoo or conditioner recently?! I had been super itchy, and couldn’t figure out why, the only thing that had changed around the time I started getting itchy was my shampoo... so I will change back to my regular one and see how that goes.

[@emmab1949]

Happy Wednesday everyone💗💗 stay positive, theres always a light at the end of the tunnel, things will get better soon❤ nothing better than a vlog from Anna

[@willywonkaswife6604]

Where did you get your pj‘s from? So cute 💖

[@so_5464]

I’m 19 and suffer with hormonal acne and i was offered birth control ... I’m still iffy if i should do it but my acne is really affecting me so I’m unsure and seeing all these comments scare me😫

[@nashernash]

I had hormonal acne too, but mine was after having children. I did not want to use birth control, as I had bad side effects from it and was never interested in trying it again. A couple years ago I was prescribed spironolactane by my dermatologist, which helps with hormonal acne. It has helped me immensely! Just another suggestion in case you were looming for more options

[@ceceliamcbride]

Pls don’t take it! try experimenting with your diet! Diary? Sugar? Skincare Product? Play around! And see if that helps your skin! “The pill” is pure hormones & junk! 💙

[@aoife9103]

I had a lot of issues with my skin including hormonal acne and going on the pill was the best thing I found for it also I had a very painful and irregular cycle which was all fixed when I went on the pill honestly one of the best things I have ever done.

[@so_5464]

Aoife M its very dependent on each person i think! What pill did you go on? There’s just so many to choose which makes it hard!

[@sarahgreene9831]

that's great that you feel more calm and relaxed after being a week off the pill! i had some issues with my pharmacy/insurance and was out of my pill for like two weeks or so and i was an anxious mess😂 anytime i forget to take it i'm reminded the next day with either random anxiety or a breakout😂

[@morganybarra338]

Literally Anna 😍 you are looking so beautiful (not that you never weren’t!!!) just been awhile since I’ve watched
