I only it spots my first month off bcp. Cramps and bloating I can't be as positive about however... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakouts-bloating-and-cramps-oh-sht#post-1273645 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:34:00 +0000 HellOnHeels 1273645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's all raise a glass of wine to our crazy hormonal bodies! </p> <p>I'm super lucky that DH is pretty empathetic about my womanly struggles and will let me lie low while I hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakouts-bloating-and-cramps-oh-sht#post-1273348 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 10:02:20 +0000 chibee 1273348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HellOnHeels: ugh i feel ya - i went through this for like a full year before my hormones got back on track. My periods weren't too heavy or crampy or anything but my skin. OMG. I had really good skin before, and it actually depressed me. It's finally under control now and almost back to the way it was but seriously that alone made me wanna kill myself. I don't think i'll ever go back on the pill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakouts-bloating-and-cramps-oh-sht#post-1273182 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 09:16:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 1273182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so not looking forward to my period coming back! The post BCP ones weren't as bad as I remember from my teens, but they still suck compared to BCP "periods". I recall a few times where I just wanted my mom to bring me tea and a heating pad while I read in bed... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakouts-bloating-and-cramps-oh-sht#post-1273167 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 09:10:53 +0000 mrsjyw 1273167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girrl. </p> <p>Nvr went back in bcp after ds and I swear I post a nonbcp af rant every month.

I'm right there with you. But for me, it's post partum periods. I'm on like my 5th one since having my daughter and it's still HORRENDOUS. Damn you uterus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breakouts-bloating-and-cramps-oh-sht#post-1273158 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 09:07:17 +0000 HellOnHeels 1273158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This being off of BCP is sucking ass as far as AF goes! </p> <p>I got my first real period after 8 years of BCP, and at first I was thrilled because I had a 29 day cycle instead of the super long ones I've heard and read about. Well now, not so much. I feel like I'm 14 again wishing I could rip my uterus out. Woke up in the middle of the night with THE worst cramps that I haven't felt since I was a teen, my face looks like a pizza and I'm bloated to the nines. Looked up cramp remedies and am currently subbing my usual coffee for caffeine free herbal tea, taking Advils like their candy (not really, but I did take 2 extra strength) and hoping I can sneak away early to come home, have a bath and sit with a hot water thinger while watching the season finale of Sons of Anarchy...</p> <p>Stupid baby maker.... Why you hate me so much?!</p> <p>Anyone else wanna commiserate? </p>
