Thank you Jessica! This was very encouraging. I haven't had a period in four months- post pill. Definitely nice to know I'm not the only one struggling with this. Focusing on supplements and nutrition and trying to be patient with my body
I needed this video so much. I started the mini pill at age 14 ( no body told be about the effects this does to your body - absolute hell ) Fast forward to age 22 and I had had enough of feeling crappy all the time so I quit taking the pill. Since stopping the pill I have had the worst hormonal acne, one withdrawl bleed and no periods in 4 months. As a women the lack of periods can be very stressful ( I am not ready for children ). I wish there was more education out there 💗
Thank you for sharing this! I just found your channel because I was looking for someone who is dealing with the same thing as me - not getting the regular cycle back. I stopped with the pill in February and got two small periods after that but since May I have not got my period back. Definitely a topic that should be spoken more about and I wish that I had been educated about this earlier. Thinking of trying magnesium before I go on a check-up!
I highly recommend getting blood tests done by your doc!! I will 1000% be doing an updated video about hormones in the coming few months as I’m still on my journey and have gotten lots of testing done since this video 🙂
i watched all these girls who got their period back, but most of them were underweight or overly exercise. While me myself, i am more on the heavier side on the BMI scale (170cm with 73kg), i only do light yoga twice a week, but i do eat so little (i do one meal a day fasting, and maybe only eat less than 1000 cal per day). I always have trouble with losing weight, i always eat less and less but my weight fluctuates easily. Yo-yo weight. Until suddenly i lost my period for 2 months now.. Do you think bigger girl like me also have to gain some more weight? or actually i have to lose more weigh to reach a healthier BMI?
Thanks for the useful tips! I’m getting off depo, should be wearing off in a couple weeks. My sister suggested I start taking magnesium now because it seemed to help her get her hormones back on track after getting off birth control, so I’ve been taking magnesium, zinc, d3, for a little over a week now, hoping those supplements will help me get my hormones back on track after being on birth control since I was about 17, so 13 years
@@chantelstephens904 I’ve been off for 8 months now, it’s been going well, I went through a hard time mentally after the 1st month, it went away and now my head feels a lot more clear, my mood is better, I’ve been losing weight, my cycle is normal.. I’ll never get back on it
Omg I will need to try this because I got off Depo last week and I regret getting BC it was my second time getting it my first time was 6-7 years ago and this second time I got it it really messed my body I get dizzy, headaches
@@Mamijae__ it’s really difficult at first, the worse time was after being off for about 2 months.. my mood was terrible, I was really depressed, but it went away within about a month, and I’ve been feeling a lot better since
Hlo ma'am ...i have taken birth control pill for 3 months and last pill i took on is on 23 this month and in last month my sleeping cycle gets disturb .i am not ne able toh sleep for many nights ..is it normal ? How can i get rid of it ..
My last gf. was a totally different human, when she was on the pill. But when she got off it... we had the MOST AMAZING, yeah.. u know what. BUT it was already too late. We had broken up. Till this day she ask to me to come back. Anyhow. U are deft. glowing now. :)
I completely cut out HIIT and heavy strength training. What I consider heavy is 75%+ my body weight in additional weight to lift. I hope to make an updated video soon dedicated to hormones, as a lot of things have changed since this video and I am still trying to gain a normal cycle!!! Spoiler alert- I got back into exercising more (zone 2-4 training 3-5x a week) and have started to lose some of the weight gain I experienced the past 2 years and eating more calories and protein. Also, I cut out alcohol COMPLETELY.
