Post Pill Syndrome - how did you fix it?

How to?

I quit BC about a month ago. Absolutely no regrets but I’m having post bill syndrome and not sure how to fix it. The first couple of weeks my skin broke out bad I had pimples all over my cheeks and jawline but they disappeared by the third week, third week I had extreme bloating and cramps in the left side of my lower abdomen. Now this is the fourth week and I look huge, especially my lower body, it’s HUGE, almost as if all the muscle in my body turned into fat so I didn’t really gain weight but my body composition changed dramatically. I also forgot to mention that the second week I had quite a bit of appetite but now I have 0 appetite. I read some of Lara Briden articles as well as Jolene Brighten’s which both recommended DIM, Calcium D-Glucarate and bio identical progesterone cream so I purchased all of them even before I quit bc to be prepared. I started taking DIM and Calcium DG 2 days before I quit BC but I can’t really tell if they’re doing anything. I eliminated all sugars and junk and been working on lowering my stress levels but still can’t tell if this is helping either. I don’t wanna mess with the progesterone cream yet because I don’t want to confuse my body and really hoping that things will resolve without hormonal intervention. I’m glad I don’t have acne or cramps anymore but I really hate how my body looks especially that I’m not used to having huge thighs and hips. I guess my question is, should I keep taking the supplements I mentioned earlier? Are my symptoms gonna go away eventually? How can I speed the process and what was your experience? Thank you!
