How do you stop taking the pill in a healthy way? I have received this question so often in my DMs or inbox over the past few years. Perhaps you are also fed up with all the annoying side effects of the pill right now and are considering stopping. In this blog, I will teach you how to stop taking the pill in a healthy way.
Side effects and complaints of stopping the pill
For some women, stopping the pill is a relief, while for others it takes some getting used to. Sometimes old symptoms resurface, such as acne or mood swings, or you may experience heavy periods again, or your cycle may be slow to get back on track. And especially if you want to have children, this can sometimes cause real stress.
If you stop taking the pill after using it for a long time, it takes a while to find a normal rhythm again. When you receive a daily dose of synthetic hormones for years, this suppresses natural production; we also call this your HPG axis (your gonadal axis).
If this does not function properly, unpleasant symptoms arise.
Furthermore, the pill causes significant vitamin and mineral deficiencies and affects other hormone glands as well. So I fully understand why you want to stop taking it at some point.
Symptoms of stopping the pill
But if you stop using the pill after months or years, your body needs time to get this going again on its own. And this recovery period can sometimes be quite tough if you don't know what to do about it. This phase is called 'coming off the pill', and for many women, it causes unpleasant symptoms:
❌You are getting acne again, your skin is becoming irritated again
❌Your period is delayed or very irregular
You will experience hair loss
❌Your mood doesn't improve either, the well-known mood swings
Or you suddenly get a very heavy period
You feel more tired than usual
Stopping the pill: how long does it take?
It is difficult to say how long it takes to stop taking the pill. Every woman is unique, and for some, the process of restarting their natural bodies goes much faster than for others. I have seen women who felt good in their natural cycle again within a few weeks. For other women, it took quite a bit longer. But... don't worry: no matter how long it takes, I will help you through this process.
