Coming off of birth controlBy Joanna S from usa on March 13, 2006 Category: TriNessa (Oral) Hey there, I've recentely decided to stop taking birth control (trinessa) altogether and i'm wondering what kind of effects to expect for the next month. i know i probably won't be as regular on my period, but it always fluxtuated on the pill too so i'm not concerned about that. Before i started taking the pill i was a lot more fit and it was easy to stay that way, i'm hoping that stopping entirely will get my body back to the old matabilism it was before, do you think getting off the pill entirely will effect that? should i expect anything additional? besides the weight gain i had no problems on this pill and i am really only getting off it altogether for personal reasons. Can u give me some info? does anyone else have a similar situation? Any advice u can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much : ) Joanna |
BM from CaliforniaI found myself in a similar situation as yourself when I stopped taking TriNessa over a week ago. I was looking for postings from people to give me advice on what to expect as I could feel a lot of changes going on with my body. Unfortunately, there isn't much out there to tell you what to expect especially since everyone's body is different. What I can tell you is how my body reacted when I came off of the pill. A couple days after not starting the pill as I have done for over 8 years (I'm 28 by the way) I started getting migraines, loss of appetite, nausea, dizziness hot flashes and insomnia. I've also been a total emotional basketcase. All of these symptoms I believe to be associated with my body adjusting to not having the constant of a birth control pill and changing hormone levels. It's only been a week and a half so I don't know how long this lasts but my symptoms aren't as bad this week as they were last week. I sure hope this helps you! March 29, 2006 | Reply | Reply to your question about coming off or stopping birth controlstopping birth control I stopped taking birth control about six weeks ago. I have similar symptons that you would have if you were pregnant (sickness to my stomach, nervous feeling). It has been six weeks since my last period, and I do not show any signs of starting again. I called my doctor and she said it is not nothing to worry about until I haven't had a period in six months. I am alittle worried because I was on time with my periods while I was on TriNessa.. Also my face has been breaking out a lot lately.... I did take a pregnancy test because I was getting the same symptons as pregnancy brings, but it said negative. I hope to start soon. I hope this helped you out on what to expect when getting off TriNessa. There isn't much information out there. By Amy from Bossier City, LA on April 11, 2006 | Reply | Write a Reply |
