birth control pill question

[missy77]

i'v been on the pill off and on since i was 16. i'm 28 now. so 12 years. anyway i recently found a lump in my right breast. i went to the doctor and had it checked out. the doctor told me that it felt like a cyst. so he told me to get off the pill and check it again after a full month cycle without the pill. if it is still there they will have to put a needle in it and drain it. all this is beside the point, but anyway i really scared to be off the pill. i'm terrified that i am going to get sick. i've been off of it for a few days now and all i keep thinking about is that i might get sick. so my question is has anyone been in this same situation and if yes what happened when you got off the pill? i am really really worried that i will be sick. it is really starting to get to me. i know that my monthly cycle will go crazy and right now i have really bad cramps. but i'm scared that i might v*.

I was on the pill for many years and had to stop it for about 6 months because of it was conflicting with another medication that I had to be on, and I was fine. In fact, I felt better mentally after stoping the pill, I was less tense and way more relaxed. My cycle was messed up for the time I was off it, but I didn't have any bad reactions from stoping it. You should be fine.

i dont think getting off the pill will make you sick, if anything i think going on it would.

Missy,


I have never heard of anyone being sick coming off of the pill. I have started and stopped a number of times and never had a problem. I can tell you that your cycle will drive you crazy b/c it will be "off" but that is all you need to worry about. Stop worrying.[img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]

I had the same worry about 4 months ago. I got off the pill to get pregnant and I was so scared it would make me sick! I actually didn't really feel anything. When I finally did get my period, the cramps were a little worse, but no worse than they were before I got on the pill. You will be just fine! The one "side effect" I did notice was a major increase in my sex drive - probably the reason I got pregnant so fast! [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]
