Ive been on the pill for about 3 years and Ive finally decided to get off of it because Im sick of being moody, emotional, and having NO sex drive. Ive only been off of it for a week but Im wondering how long it will be before I am normal again?? When will the irritability and emotional craziness go away and when will my sex drive come back??? Any info or shared experiences with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
p.s. And for the past year I have been on Loestrin, the pill with the lowest dosage of hormones, and it didnt make any difference... that is why I decided to get off of it and my BF of 6 years and I are going to just use condoms.

The mini-pill is also a good choice for women who cannot tolerate estrogen and for women who smoke but want to use a hormonal method of birth control.
In general, the ability to become pregnant resumes quickly after discontinuing the mini-pill as compared to women who discontinue using the combination pill. Although menstrual-like bleeding appears within a week of stopping either pill, menstrual-cycle length may not return to normal until the second or third month after stopping the pill.
The mini-pill does not appear to increase the risk of breast cancer.
The most common reason women discontinue the mini-pill is irregular menstrual bleeding including skipped periods or no bleeding, unpredictable spotting, irregular bleeding, and sometimes heavier and prolonged bleeding.
