Living Life Without A Hormonal Safety Net

I went off the pill recently. It was one of those pills that spaces your periods out every three months (see tackle box to right), which was nice, but I was curious to see what I would be like without the artificial hormones. Would I lose weight? Would my boobs disappear altogether? Would I be in a better mood?
It sucks a little cuz it was always nice to have the pill to blame for any flaw on my part. If I broke out, it was the pill’s fault. If I cried, it was the pill. If I was bitchy, the pill. If I killed someone, the pill.
So far I haven’t noticed much of a change, though I have been in a good mood lately. My guy’s take on it? “Lucky for you, now that you’re off the pill I’ll be cumming in your face a lot more.”
(I wonder what Planned Parenthood calls that form of birth control - the In Your Face method?)

Well, since I’m on my way to be a doctor, I can tell you that really the only thing the pill does is boost your levels of progesterone, fooling your body into thinking you’re pregnant and not needing to ovulate.
