Hi everyone,
So I've been off for 1 month exactly. I am so glad that I did this. I was on OrthoTC for about 13 years then my doc changed me to desogen(Apri) because of breakthrough bleeding and then I gained about 10 lbs in 2 years. So the first 2 weeks were not good. I felt like I was pmsing the whole time. Had a withdrawl bleed a few days after I stopped. I'm not sure if this is my period or not but started it on Thursday (seems a little early to start a period doesn't it)? Anyway, I've lost 3 lbs. and my face is unbelieveably clear. I have so much more energy during the day and now I seem to wake up the same time every morning ready to go. Ususally I feel like I've been hit with a ton of bricks when I first wake up. Not sure if libido (sp?) has come back yet or not. I'm really glad I did this. Thanks for listening.
