Many women take hormonal contraception every day. It's such a regular part of our routine that we often don't think about the negative effects or its impact on our health. But more and more women are fed up with the pill. They want their natural cycle back. They're fed up with artificial hormones and all the side effects.

And that's exactly what Guud Ambassador Trix experienced. When she stopped taking the pill, her life changed completely. "It was such a relief when I stopped taking it last year. I feel so much better now. I feel a huge change, and I see myself blossoming again into that truly happy, confident, sexual girl—the girl I was when I was 16!"

A better version of myself

Stopping the pill isn't a decision you make lightly. Some women fear the side effects, but Trix doesn't regret it for a moment. She feels like she's found a better version of herself, and she's happy, confident, and a few pounds lighter.

My libido is sky rocking!

Many women can experience a lower libido when taking the pill. This is because the pill alters the hormones that influence your libido. Trix noticed significant changes when she stopped taking the pill. It even had a positive impact on her relationship: "My libido skyrocketed, and my boyfriend loves it."

"Overall, I feel like I'm on cloud nine," says Trix. The change in her mood, self-confidence, and libido has had a positive effect not only on her relationship, but also on her career.

Side effects after stopping?

Of course, these positive changes take time for many women. And in the immediate weeks and months after stopping the pill, you can experience negative withdrawal symptoms. Many women experience headaches, mood swings, and cramps. ( Read more about the side effects of the pill here .)

But we assure you: These will disappear, and the long-term benefits are worth it. So let yourself be inspired by the long-term benefits.

What are the benefits of stopping the pill?

  • Increased sex drive (as Trix mentioned). This is because your body starts producing progesterone again.
  • Feelings are less flattened
  • More energy
  • Your natural hormone balance is back
