SO I've been on some form of birth control since I was 15, ranging from pills, to implants to the hormonal coil (IUD) I have currently at age 26. 

A friend of mine who also has BPD was mentioning to me that hormones definitely aggrivated her symptoms. This, and a conversation I recently had with my Mum following a very hard "episode", has made me question whether it's time to try and go without hormones. Has anyone else made a change and seen even the smallest difference? My only reservations coming off would be any fluctuation in my weight, a potential oestrogen imbalance that the hormones in the IUD may be balancing, and...well babies! 

For context, I'm a 26 year old cis woman who, whilst not being incredibly sexually promiscuous for a while (reconnected with my fp and only sleeping with them), has definitely been in the past - an impulsive trait I actively have to manage.

TLDR: Has coming off contraception helped or fucked you up? Is it time for me to come off them after over 10 years?
