Message:

I have recently come off the pill (about 5 weeks ago) after being on ovranette for about 8 years. I've come off it as dont really need it for contraception at the moment so decided to give my body a break from it.

My periods seem to have returned to normal already and Im finding it so much easier to lose weight too (which I was struggling with before & it was really getting me down so this is a major plus for me) but the only problem is now I seem to be breaking out in a lot of spots.

I was never really particularly spotty before going on the pill so Im not sure why this is, will it stop once my body adjusts to the change in hormones or am I stuck with a spotty complexion from now on?

I dont want to go back on the pill as Im liking being able to lose weight - but now my confidence is suffering due to the spots instead!!!
