Breaking Out after coming off of BC?
Did this happen to anyone else? I have pipples all over my neck and some on my jaw line on both sides. I never broke out in this location before I was on BC- although I did experience break out problems from time to time.
My skin has been absolutely perfect the whole time I was on BC. I am so worried that someone in our familes or at work will realize that I'm not on the pill anymore. I don't want them to know we're in the early stages of TTC.

I had one breakout on my forehead. It's cleared up and haven't had any new ones.

Re: Breaking Out after coming off of BC?
Yes! I never got acne on my back and chest until I went off BC. My face got a little worse, but I already was using something for that. I went to the dermatologist and got a new prescription--I don't want all that with the summer coming.

I got horrendous break outs after coming off the pill - it was like I was 12 again!! Proactiv worked the best for me to clear up my skin.

I guess I'm in the minority, cause I never had a breakout after stopping BC.
Sending  your way!!!

Re: Breaking Out after coming off of BC?
yes- I am breaking lout like I am a teenager again. I am breaking out in different places than when I was a teenager- but still, its embarassing! The breakouts didnt happen right when I came off the pill- they took a few months- but yes, it is happening to me too.

Yes recently I noticed that I am getting small pimples on my face. Its horrible. I was trying to figure out where it could possibly be coming from. I never thought that it could be because I recently came off of BC.

Re: Breaking Out after coming off of BC?
Thanks every one. I feel a little bit better knowing I'm not alone in this.
Someone did actually notice today. She thought I was having an allergic reaction to something. The pimples are small and red and it looks like something bit me all over my neck. 
I hope my hormones calm down soon.

Can you take Proactiv if your TTC? (I'm a little nervous about taking meds until I talk to my doctor.)

My skin has been awful since coming off the pill and worse since my BFP. My doctor prefers me not to use proactive.

Is there anything you can do to clear up the pimples or is it just the process of the hormones being released from the body and we just have to wait it out..... ?

my doctor was fine with it as the primary ingredient is just benzoyl peroxide.
