Birth control pills and periods

Cynthia • 23. Childfree. Sterilized.

I’ve been on birth control pills for a year and six months, I’m honestly having a hard time remembering what my periods are like before then. I don’t even remember what my PMS symptoms were. All I know is if it wasn’t for the fact my period comes every 28 days, I wouldn’t know when it was coming! Birth control has pretty much eliminated my PMS.

Of course I get bloated, cramps, tired and achy once it’s happening but I pretty much don’t know I get my period until like 5 minutes before when I start to feel a few rough cramps. Anyone else like this?
