I ran out of my BCP just recently. Finished my sugar pills before I realized I was out. I noticed sypmtoms right away.

Very intense hot flashes. No sweats, but my body is on FIRE!!

Very heavy discharge and VERY aroused sexually. Have not had that in a long time!

What's that all about?

Oh NO >>>That S*cks!!!!
Hugs TW!!!

that may not be a bad thing.....

NO, not at all!!

I'm just wondering what the correlation is??

I am the only one here who has experienced this?

I have not experienced this but i wanted to bump this thread up so maybe you'd get some replies.....

Thanks, moonlight!

Seems this is unique only to ME!!

Surely NOT!!!

Hugs TW.
Your body was used to the steady supply of E and P, now it goes through withdrawal.
The increased libido is normal when you stop the pill, any kind, as it puts your ovaries to sleep sort of, so your testosterone and hence libido down to drain.
The discharge can be due to your ovaries waking up, and so goes the sexual drive. Sorry for the hot flashes, and enjoy high libido while you can.
I guess you need to order in advance or try HRT, depending what is your current status.
HTH,
Best I.

I'm thinking of not reordering the BCP in hopes of getting my weight to STOP CLIMBING!! re: The hightened libido.............I would be very happy with HALF of what it has been the past few days. I spent most of my 40's hardly able to function, totally proccupied, climbing the walls, WAY over the top, ravenous wolf, GRRRRRRRR............... you get my point! And I do NOT want that again, but it is kinda nice!! hehehehe!!

I am trying to decide whether to stick with the pill or not.

HTH????

Thanks a bunch,

bev

Bev I wouldn't base my decision on weight! Go by your quality of life!
I took bcp a few year back for a cyst but only for a few months.
So I can't judge anything by that!

Yet I have taken no bcp pills or hrt's and still gain 18# this past year!

Doing it natural and still have weight gain> like a no win situation!

I do not over eat and I'm pretty active this summer

snow, I weigh more now than I have EVER weighed in my entire life and it just keeps coming. I have been very INactive. I know, one of the biggiest contributors, but I have literally been unable to function with the hemoglobin being so low.

Dr. initially put me on the pill because of the cysts and the horrible cramps. The cramps are gone, so that's good. It's been just over a year since I started them.

I cannot continue to go up in size. Guess I'll just see what happens if I stay off of them for a while. If I go back to the way I was before I will HAVE to go back.

I know the feeling> I am very small bone. I can still wear my wedding ring a size 4 1/2 but I am over weight! The weight is mostly on my hips-stomach area!

If it wasn't for spandex in jeans I couldn't wear them!

I'm also not a very active person, mostly I feel due to my thyroid problems!
Plus I have lost muscle mass......

I'm trying to cut back on what I eat but it not working.

I saw a recent study about losing weight that was interesting> it's more about what you eat than excising.

So you may be on to something with the blood sugar levels....
