Side effects of stopping birth control???

Briana

Hello! About a month ago my OB switched me from Lo Loestrin Fe (been taking for 4 years) to Junel Fe 24. I took the pills for 2 weeks and absolutely hated them. I’ve stopped taking them for about two weeks. Two days after stopping I had a “withdrawal bleed” (it was brown). Now I have constipation, mild cramping, digestive issues, and today I have had back pain and a headache. Are these normal symptoms after stopping birth control? Please help!
