Hey guys.

about a year ago I finally found a BC pill that makes me feel amazing. Little to no PMS symptoms...barely any acne, and I gained enough weight that I don't feel like a stick. I want to be on it forever...except I want to start a family more.

In January I plan on stopping the pill and I am terrified of my skin and mood going nuts. I have been researching herbs and diet changes to see what I should do to ease the crazy hormones I am sure to encounter when I first go off the pill. I have had some success with saw palmetto in the past so I plan to try that and vitex to help my hormones until I get pregnant. Does this sound like a good idea? Anyone have any good ways to ease hormones when going off the pill??

If you can afford, contact a naturopath to help ease the transition. Also, thelovevitamin website has posts about naturally doing this.

 

hopefully things work out.

I don't want to scare you, but I went off the pill almost two years ago and am facing the most horrible acne ofmy life. Tried Vitex and Saw Palmettofor almost a year and they didn't do a lot to my skin.I know everyone is different, but I think it would be great if you also had a strong topical in hand, just in case your acne go crazy. Hormonal acne is hell and can be really tricky to solvewith natural alternatives.
