I've been off the pill for about 4 months and still break out pretty badly. I think it is going to last forever, and being on the pill is the only thing that ever cleared it up. I really hate it!

I never broke out with acne when I got off the pill.

No. When I went off to get pregnant, it only took a few months. I don't remember for sure if acne was a problem. Then, I was pregnant, so totally different hormones, different symptoms. This time, my husband has had a vasectomy, so I thought this would be permanently going off, but the acne is bad enough to make me want to go back on.
