Pls help

There are women who went on in their late teens and never went off till their early mid 30's and honestly thought that they'd just automagically get preggers after a night.
Most of them didn't realize how badly it fucked their hormones and nearly ruined their ability to have children normally.
The biggest shock is how they find themselves drawn to chad/jamal.

>it's made me gain weight
No they haven't, you stupid cow. Your shitty diet and sedentary lifestyle are making you gain weight.

Still fucking with her hormones man. Birth control is not good.

Literally just make sure your retarded boyfriend pulls out and you'll be fine.

Yeah I don't understand birth control. Like you have to be an absolute MASSIVE whore to need it vs just using condoms, pulling out, and in the off chance get the morning after pill. There's no way that's worse than permanently making your hormones not work for a long period of time.

This.

No worries, not looking for a bab atm.
Also my gynocolgist took them for 30+ years (and she's in her 40s now) shes had two kids and pretty fit. Think she's messed up emotionally?

I took them for my period not pleasure.

That is because you dont know how shitty it is for majority of women to have period. Imagine getting cramps for 1 week every month rendering you pretty much useless for anything from lifting to doing any actual work.

Many women are on it only to minimize pain and discomfort.

You simply stop. Expect very very irregular and heavy periods which should fix itself after few cycles. And you may find yourself horny, less emotional, more "alive" feeling, weird cravings and so on. With a bit of lick you might even lose some fat. And yes, you might get pregnant. Sometimes it is super easy.

Thank you (:

oh

>Don't use birth control, just pull out

I ain't riskin that shit nigga

Oh. There you are

>she has to pay for healthcare

Go talk to your doctor; there are other methods of birth control that don't do stuff to your body you don't like.

Hell, you could always just take a month or two off before getting back on.

Anyway, your boyfriend isn't a fucking doctor, so don't listen to his shit advice.

I'm going to try to give her a call asap.

>Anyway, your boyfriend isn't a fucking doctor, so don't listen to his shit advice.
Dont fuck the bro over you colossal cunt. She should loyaly obey his every command and treat his word as that of a God.

it's making me gain weight
holy fuck dude are you serious?
that's awesome, we can stop relying on nuclear reactors to supply us with energy! you broke the fucking wheel! you don't obey thermodynamics, this is incredible!

this is a fitness board, the least appropriate place for that corny ass pedantic rick and morty ass shit you fuckin guy

(You)

Trips of strewth

My advice is not to listen to Veeky Forums

Kinda figuring that.

>I've decided to stop taking my birth control after being on it for 5 years straight. Any advice on what to expect?

There's quite a bit of variation among different OCPs, between estrogen-only, progestin-only, and combination. Dosage varies as well.

The side-effects of OCPs vary greatly between women, and to some degree between the type of pill. Just as well, you'll likely experience some variable amount of bleeding after stopping, the amount and duration may vary greatly between women; this bleeding may be irregular for some time until you re-establish a regular cycle.

POST F E E T

Honestly the best idea. Your doctor, especially if female, can give you advice beyond "b...but honey, you're gaining weight and getting angry! Must be the pills!"

I mean, maybe your boyfriend knows what he's talking about, but doctors will always be best. Here's an (Australian) link on some of the contraceptives you might want to ask about:

betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/contraception-choices

The biggest issue is that if you fuck up here, you get pregnant which is kinda shit. That being said, if the pulls are making you feel like shit, than that's an issue too and you need to address that before you feel even worse. And there is a lot of bullshit and myths surrounding female hormones, which is why I think talking to a doctor might be worth it.

ANyway, good luck my homie. Went through something similar with my Gf recently, so I know a weird amount about this stuff. Any other questions?

Not fucking over a bro, I'm trying to make sure that Op and her bf don't have a kid they aren't ready for.

I'm currently taking Cyred because it helps with my acne and increased my breast size. When I got off it for a month to observe my natural cycle, my emotions were a lot more stable and my sex drive went through the fucking roof. Too bad my breast didn't stay plump for long after I stopped

Honestly, either get good at counting dry/wet cycles or make him put on a condom. At this point I'm only taking it for titties gainz

Not Op, but are you kidding? I didn't know girls could get boob gainz, but it makes sense since it's basically a shot of female hormones.

Your appetite is influenced by your hormones. Not sure why you dicks want to assume we're stupid and don't understand thermodynamics. Is there a pill to fix your sexual frustration?

>morning after pill is better than birth control pills
>Plan B literally has 5x the dosage of normal BC pills

condoms condoms condoms

Thank you user. I really think it has changed my emotions over the years plus so many people have told me how unnatural it is. Don't get me wrong, im all for meds but I'm thinking this might be best for now.

Ooh yeah my boobs went up a cup size.

it has to be specifically desogestrel-ethinyl estradiol combo pills. I've taken Aubra and a couple of other combo pills with no breast gainz

Just call your doctor.

You're going to break up with your bf after stopping birth control

Try not to have a kid, use protection most likely you guys are going to break up

No worries my man.

That being said, let me just address this since it's an important point to understanding how they work, and it's a massive pet peeve of mine:
They aren't natural at all. In fact, they're literally just a dose of the stuff your body produces naturally; female sex hormones. Anybody telling you it's unnatural doesn't understand how their body works. Even dudes have it in their body. It does effect your emotions, but that's because it's a hormone, not because it's a drug on the same level as heroin or crack or something.

That being said, it's a personal choice. Do what you and your doctor feel is right.

That's actually pretty interesting. Do the pdesogestrel-ethinyl estradiol pills work as well as other pills?

>its made in your body so its not unnatural?
YOU ARE
A
BIG
IDIOT!

Heavy doses of artificial hormones fuck your body up user.
Just ask the average gear head.

This isn't a scary story or people going on the internet to tell lies.

The actual MASSIVE negative side effects of birth control pills are well documented and have been known about for generations. Problem is that an entire fucking movement was built on the back of it and many companies make too goddamned much money on it.

It's kind of how the lie that bras prevent sagging is so common place when bras in fact CAUSE sagging.

Or the entire made up condition known as cellulite.

Fite me dude

Freedom of choice faggot. You don’t wanna buy it you shouldn’t have to. Suffer the consequences but you should be allowed to make that choice. Just like a hospital shouldn’t have to treat you if you choose not to have insurane. Fuck Obamacare

My nigga

in terms of birth control, they work fine

if you're a trap looking for pre-op breast improvement, just take progesterone alone. Be warned that progesterone will cause weight gain due to their notorious water retention side effects and massive change in appetite

freedom of choice != deliberate deception

if you told all the women in your life how bad bcp is for them, I doubt they would willingly choose to ingest synthetic hormones to take dick on the reg

The one week is lie. Most women Ive talked to said the worst is the first two days then its just normal and annoying with an upset stomach.

>2017+0
>Being this much of a white knight.

> !=

Putting != instead of not equal to what a massive faggot. Get the fuck out here computer science nerd

Solid point. I'm not a doctor and my understanding is all secondhand; that's why I recommended OP get to a doctor for actual information.

Looks like she's ditching hormonal birth control for at least a while, so hopefully her hormones recover fast. But on the same note, it's important that she does it because she feels it's a good idea, and has a chat to a doc, and not because some family member told her it's unnatural.

Kek, not a trap my friend. Just interested in how chemicals effect the body. Thanks for the answer though.

If you're talking about a period then unfortunately you're wrong. For me the entire week is awful. But then again, maybe I'm just a weakling.

Haha not to worry, I want to do this for me. Not just because bf and others have said anything about it. Half my friends want to me stay on it actually.

ITT: OP larps as a women about to get off "her" BC.

How delusional can you be? You must be one of those lolbertarians who thinks Obama was socialist in any way.

>It's kind of how the lie that bras prevent sagging is so common place when bras in fact CAUSE sagging.
s-so how to prevent it? What influences the size and shape of the female breast without implants?

Nothing. That's life.

Get ready for a few weeks of hell. Spotting, emotional, cramping. It'll pass but it fucking sucks, make sure you want off. Try a non hormonal IUD if you want to avoid pregnancy also. Good luck dude.

I've lost weight and gone down from DD to a small C. I've done something similar along the lines of keto for about 6 months. Even now while I'm trying to maintain my weight (It has not changed for the last 3 weeks) and continue lifting, I'm losing fat. A different diet would surely speed down the fat loss and I'm sure there is something I can do. If I'd be lactose tolerant I'd just drink whole milk and stay within my maintenance kcals. But right now I'm not even sure what to do besides trying to up my bad carb intake.

Just get an IUD

I stopped taking my bc for a few weeks once and I felt amazing i swear to god i was less moody, felt cleaner, etc. Not sure about long term though.

This, just seeing all these white knight manlets. The only reply OP deserves is TITS Or GTFO

Greater risk of various cancers in your 50s and 60s, long-lasting endocrinological imbalances and problems, heightened risk of inability to conceive, have miscarriage, and have children with birth defects. Good luck.

Shouldn't have messed with your hormones roastie, oh and a reminder, for women, it only gets worse with age.
Also, not Veeky Forums related

>This is a Veeky Forumsness board now can we get back to talking about my fucking birth Control??
What did they mean by this?

holy smokes you're so intelligent bro


Sent from my iPhone

Weird periods, they get more crampy and uncomfortable for a while until your hormones balance out. Youll also probably break out because of said hornones.

>There's actually girls on this board
>They regularly read our posts and giggle about them

>Any advice on what to expect?

Your tits will grow a little. That is what happened to my friend.

every girl in this thread please post pics pls

Get a copper IUD if you still don't want kids, but after 5 years, it's time to start making little ones. Expect your timing to be wacked out, and it will almost seem like everything in your life is better. And you may start to want kids.

>IUD
side effects include spontaneous abortion every month, uterine perforation, hemorrhage, life-threating infection, sterility, cancer and death.

No they don't.

>serious problems from IUDs are not at all common

Pulling out is shit tier, only done it a couple times, then made the bitch get a nexplanon despite her not wanting it and being terrified of the procedure

yeah man roiding is natural. nothing wrong with it dont listen to the bro science telling you it s bad

Yes they do, shill.
>it's not at all common so it's okay to put women's lives at risk for my convenience :D

congratulations on being a lowlife piece of shit?

How many girls have you asked on date this year silly boy? I bet you can deadlift morbidly obese girls but cant ask them on dates, can you?

>1 week every month
Women are useless every day of every month

Depends on what you use them for. They can make babies, nag, spend money on nonsense, make you move furniture around just for gigles, make sandwich and warm your dick pretty well.

>Putting != instead of not equal to what a massive faggo
What the fuck should he have written instead? ? NOT?

Have you tried different pills in the 5 years you've been on them?

I had to go through three before I found one that didn't bloat me and terminate my sex drive.

As for what to expect, hormone fuckery (you'll probably first feel like shit, then horny) and unpredictable periods until you get a feel for what your natural cycle becomes.

Risk is quite low and actually much lower than associated morbidity and mortality of pregnancy.

Damn girl, your emotions are wacked the fuck out.

Anyways, my ladyfriend has been through the full gamut of birth control methods and landed on IUDs after trying everything else, they're moderately painful to get inserted and can cause a vasovagal response, but after that, they are fire and forget.

Risk of serious side effects is present but acceptable for such an effective birth control method...

>my girlfriend could die but that's fine as long as she doesn't get pregnant :^)

shut up whore

>disagrees with my opinion
>must be a shill

Copper IUD is the best form of contraception when it comes to taking into account the down sides of the hormonal alternatives. Other than barrier types, obviously.

>my girlfriend could die
The burden of proof is on you.

Stop taking it so your nuclear estrogen piss doesn't go back into the water supply.

shit tier bait m8, but just to everyone else reading this, the risk of serious complications is very low in developed first world countries.

Copper IUDs are the way to go IMO/IME.

This is not how you ask a lady on a date user. You have to smile, introduce yourself and ask some innocent question to make me notice you and check out your biceps and gauge my interest before making subtle move via flirting.

Getting your sex drive back.

Just went off in June, cons I've noticed my skin got kinda bad, my hair is shedding and my first few periods were really long. Aparently these should all clear up within a few months though. Pros are much better mood and crazy increase in libido

DELET

>no one mentions ovulation
you will have 1-2 days where you'll be hornier than ever

Ive met many women in my day and hooked up with some, from my experience women ON birth control had a way higher sex drive than women without

Maybe because girls with a sex drive get birth control to...control birth whereas girls without a sex drive dont need to since they arent fucking anyone anyway

you will feel happier and get more sex drive, seriously just do it
