okay so I've noticed a pattern.I was on birth control for a while and my symptoms were very minimal, with the occasional flare up if I ate something bad or if I was under any kind of stress. Well I went off the BC 6 months ago and my body has fallen apart! I am living off chicken and turkey, noodles and rice and I am SICK of it. However, EVERY month during my cycle AND during my ovulation cycle I have a flare up. No matter what I do, I can't catch a break. We have been trying hard to concieve but I am so frustrated with my stomach upsets I am seriously considering going back on BC. Anybody out there have any suggestions?? I know we don't have problems concieving and doctors tell me that the average couple takes about a year. I am just so sick of being sick, how am I suppose to get pregnant if I can't stay out of the bathroom! I'm sorry if this is too much information. Just ignore it if you don't like it, I just could use some help.

Oh man, I am a little freaked out reading this. I just went off the pill this month (not to conceive, however - we're done!) and I was wondering if it was going to have any effect on my tummy. My last really bad "episode" was in March 07 when I went off BC to conceive my daughter and I have always wondered if it was related. Once I got pregnant, though, things evened out. I'm sorry you are having a tough time!

well when I went off BC a couple of years ago, I immediately got pregnant with my little girl so I never experienced what it was to be off BC. While I was pregnant my IBS symptoms virtually went away (it was wonderful!) Now however is a whole different story. Obviously mine is triggered by hormones somewhat, at least it has to be the only conclusion I can come up with. I just want to know what I can do those two wks out of the month when my hormones are hay wire!? Im eating bland and trying to watch my stress levels. I have a trip coming up to Disney and Im scared to death that the happiest place on earth will become a nightmare for me if I don't get this under control! Suggestions???
