A member asked:
I went off birth control pills over a week ago and have been extremely tired since then. is that a normal side effect from stopping the pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: It can take a while for the ovaries to resume estrogen production after stopping the pill. During the time your estrogen level is low, your energy level may seem low as well.
