So I stopped taking birth control....

And I feel SOOO much better. DH and I are not ttc anytime soon but I had recently swithced to the pill from depo and got really sick. So after 10 years of being on some form of bc, I am not taking anything. I keep getting the urge to just try the pill again or call my doctor to switch because it feels like a habit, but then I think, do I really want to chance getting that sick? DH and I will still use condoms, but if something happens, it happens. It's kind of a liberating felling. ha!

I am so glad you are finally feeling better; I can't imagine what a relief it must be.

I hear you, I had a similar problem when I came off depo and nothing else worked... It'd weird not having anything there, but I do feel better. And I've stopped crying about everything, THAT is a nice change.

I know what you mean. I went off it a month after the wedding and I feel so much healthier now, though my cycles still arent back to normal yet.

I've been off the pill for years and years and it really is nice not to have to worry about accidentally forgetting it or something. Even when I was on the pill, we still used condoms (and still do).
