Like - I haven't had breakouts like this since I was a teenager! Its crazy. Anyone else noticed this? we're not ttc yet, but i have gone off of bc - and jenn - i was a disaster for the first month. i feel more like myself now, tho, and almost feel like there was a cloud around me that has finally dissapated. i was on for 12 years. my skin is now worse than ever. i never had bad breakouts, but i ALWAYS have red spots now. i'm thinking about a dermo visit too.
