advice for coming off the pill?

How to?

i’ve been trying different oral contraceptives for a year now (sprintec, yaz, current HORRIBLE experience with junel which is making me give up) and my gyno gave me the ok to get off the pill entirely. i was using it to manage period symptoms, im a lesbian so preventing pregnancy is not a major concern :-) unfortunately, i pretty much continuously bled through all of them (spotting and such for months).

does anyone have advice for getting off of oral contraceptives? i see horrible horror stories online and im hoping to hear how some of your journeys have went, and any tips you have for making it bearable. (im also on antidepressants so if any of you are pls let me know how this affected your mental health)

thanks u Xx
