I went off of BC almost two months ago, and I can't be happier with the decision. I'm not sure if you're friended on here (if you're not, friend me!!) but you can read my blogs about it if you are.
My mood has improved, my skin has improved (I produce more oil, but I don't get as many pimples), my sex drive has improved, and I feel much more in control of my mind and my emotions. I went from feeling disconnected a lot to feeling totally involved in everything I am thinking and doing.
I personally cannot get an IUD (I've had some abnormal paps, they're not recommended in that case), so I choose instead to a) use condoms and b) keep Plan B on hand if necessary. I am not currently in a relationship, so the sex I have is relatively casual so far and therefore condoms are even more important.
I took Plan B the other day after an equipment failure, and it really didn't affect me much physically. Emotionally, however.. that's another story. I spent the evening crying over every little thing that could possibly be deemed sad. Today, I'm feeling back in control again and a lot more positive.
My counselor really recognized the change in my outlook and moods and reactions, and she's thrilled with the change.
