Before I went on the BCP (about 6 yrs ago) I had heavy periods and horrible cramping. I came off of the BCP in Nov and my periods have been VERY light and no cramping. Recently my skin has been horrible and my hair "greasy"....What could this mean? My husband and I use the "pull out method of birth control....

It is just the change in the hormones of your body. Since you had been on the pill for six years it is probably just working its way out of your body. Your periods are probably the same as when you were on your period, and everything else is starting to change. The doctor told me that it can take anywhere from 1 to 6 months for the medicine to be out of your body, just because of what it consists of.
BTW the pull out method really isn't reliable. There is still a large risk of getting pregnant with that. If you are wanting to be off the pill I would consider using condoms, or talk to your doctor about a diaphragm.
