Off Birth Control, Struggling

I have been off BC for 7 weeks bc my husband and I want to try to get pregnant. I don't know if I will be able to keep trying bc my skin is breaking out (chin and mouth) and the texture of it has almost changed drastically. Has anyone else experienced this? My skin is already oily and it's starting to get humid out, so that isn't helping. I feel so uncomfortable (being oily) that I can't focus on anything else. And intimacy is difficult when I feel so...gross. I do have somewhat of a "regimen" (not Dan's), using epiduo, spironolactone, and trying to be gentle to my skin. I also am recently trying fish oil, D3, and zinc to help. If I was pregnant, it would be different but I'm not (yet) so I am having a hard time wanting to keep trying. I've also looked into adoption bc of my fears of pregnancy and acne. Anyone else have anything to share related to changes in skin after stopping birth control?

Vitamin C can't hurt, and a healthy diet as well. Fish oil can backfire if the quality is not good.
