On a much different note, I've been on the pill since I was 19 - just before I got married and with the exception of going off of it to have my two girls - I used it continuously. In November, my husband switched jobs and I decided to stop it for a few months rather than paying $50 for the prescription. I had no idea how much the pill suppresses (if you know what I mean!). I always attributed it to work and kids and being tired but it was the pill.
I'm sure that's a little TMI but I was just so surprised. It should have been obvious now that I think about it (hello, hormones!!!) but I never thought I had a side effect. I don't think I'll ever go back on it again.
Good for you!!
