Off BCP Question

Heather

Hey y'all! So the hubs and I finally decided to get off the BCP and see what happens- really want a blood panel done soon to see where my hormones are at and whether we'll need help TTC. I know that getting off the pill tends to make things go haywire for a while, but omg... 5 days off the pill and I'm having the most horrendous period I've had in some time. Heavy heavy bleeding and some seriously righteous cramps. Any suggestions for something to help keeping cycles from being aggressive? Also really concerned how long this sucker is going to take or how frequently it'll be once things get 'normal'. I was put on my BCP because I had bled 90 days straight without a break after having nothing for months. The pill was the only reason I had a regular period. Any suggestions or ideas how to handle all of this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :)
