If you haven’t had a period yet pixi, it could be your natural hormones are taking a while to kick in so you might not be noticing any changes just yet. Like you say I would give it another couple of months.So far I haven’t actually noticed any benefits from being off the pill and I’m going to give it another couple of months before I go back on.
Headaches and brain fog have continued, still anxious irritable and mood swings, appetite has increased, absolutely zero libido to the point I don’t even want to cuddle with my boyfriend let alone have sex, I even think I’m more hairy now. Maybe this is just me I thought it was all down to the pill!
Yeah I will give it a while, I just had this image of coming off and being a whole new woman Possibly slightly optimistic!If you haven’t had a period yet pixi, it could be your natural hormones are taking a while to kick in so you might not be noticing any changes just yet.

If not, have you tried other pills with different hormones or hormone levels in? I tried a few and some were awful for me.
My hair gets really greasy really quickly now - never thought that it could be down to coming off the pill although it has been over a year since i came off it so maybe its not related for me.The greasy hair is definitely a thing I’ve noticed. I used to be able to get away with washing it once a week, but am now noticing it’s greasy after only two days.
ive Been off the pill for 8 months now and my flaky scalp and grease has finally calmed down (I did use nizoral for my scalp for a while though so could be that)the face spots have calmed but sadly I’ve had a referral to the derm for my bacne.. it definitely changes throughout the month with hormonal surges so some weeks better some it’s horrific. But I’m 35 and shouldn’t have to cover up and not wear vests in the summer so time was right to bring it up with the gp. I did suffer with my back while on the pill too though unfortunately. Keep with it and hopefully the spots and greasy hair will subside52 days since my withdrawal bleed, still no period but I am with you all on the greasy! My skin has gone to tit, not too bad on my face but my chest is covered in spots . My scalp is flaky and spotty but my hair is greasy AF after one day. I was washing it once a week in lockdown! I’ve just bought the Philip Kingsley flaky/itchy scalp set from Boots so I’ll let you know how I get on with that. Hoping someone who’s been off the pill for a while will share some stories about how they transformed into a stunning being with flawless skin and amazing hair after going through this rough patch. @lottiedrynan is good to follow on insta for all things coming off the pill and talks about her (positive) experience with it.
