Coming off the pill (or having an IUD removed) sounds easy, right?

Whether you’re getting ready to have a baby, switching to a more natural contraceptive option, or tired of dealing with the side effects, the solution seems like simply stopping taking the pill/taking the IUD out.

You throw your blister packs in the garbage and ride off into the sunset on a unicorn with Beyonce by your side #whoruntheworld

Time for a reality check my friend.

There are 2 common (but unpleasant) outcomes with this approach:

1. You feel the “niggle” to come off the pill or remove your hormonal IUD but the fear of your period or skin problems coming back again produces anxiety (plus you’re not even sure what alternative options you have)
   
   Or,
   
   
2. You take the leap of faith and come off the pill (or have your hormonal IUD removed). Then your periods, mood, skin or libido are instantly on struggle street. You start panicking that the only solution is to go back on the pill again (but you don’t want to)

Here’s the thing…

MANY women are prescribed the pill to “fix” period or skin problems but all hormonal birth control does is mask your symptoms.

For many women coming off the pill can cause these same pre-pill issues to return with a nasty vengeance. UNLESS you prepare your body properly and know how to support this process you’re going to end up back at square one.

Seeing women trapped in an emotional cycle of feeling cornered into suppressing their hormones when they want to do the right thing for their bodies is heartbreaking, especially when it comes from a place of not having ALL of the information to truly make an informed choice.

The good news is that there is an answer, and it’s a step-by-step process that anyone can follow.
