I love the way my skin looks now because it is always so clear and smooth. As a teenager I would constantly cover up because I was so self consious. But it makes you wonder what kinds of chemicals go into your body to have such a major impact like that. I guess I've never really thought too much about it until last week at my appointment.

I think I would rather have a normal sex drive, normal AF and a normal skin problem than to continue pumping my body full of these hormones. I'm happy to deal with whatever happens and I know that if it gets so out of hand that I feel horrible I can always go back on the pill. Hopefully that won't happen.

I know when I went on the pill I quickly put on 5kg that I was never able to shift. Did anyone lose weight after going off the pill?
