I got off of BC 7 months ago. Before I was on BC, my stomach was only bloated during my period or if I ate heavy. Once I was on it, I was extremely bloated constantly. My stomach was hard as a rock and it hurt to push on it. Well, I've been off of it for 7 months now and the bloating has gone down some but not all the way. It is still hard as rock and it hurts to push on it and sometimes even breathe (because my stomach goes in and out when I breathe). I'm worried that something else could be causing it that I need to see a DR for. But I wanted to ask you all first to see if any of you experienced this as well or are? Any nurses on here that could give me some answers?
