Worried about something's wrong?!

Question

Hi ladies!

I'm sure I'm just worrying for nothing!

We decided together that I would come off my pill back in November. I have a 5 year old son from a previous relationship so me and my partner decided we would like to try for another one together. Since coming off my pill I've had 3 periods around the time I'm due on, however they go on for ages well over a week and are very heavy and painful cramps. Whilst I was on my pill I had regular 4/5 day periods. I'm only a small build but I've started putting on weight, my skin is awful and spotty and I'm getting random cramps and stomach aches.

Is this normal and just my body adjusting to coming off the pill? I caught rubbishly taking the pill with my son so I can't really compare!

☺️☺️

Answer

I've been getting lots of spots since coming BC in October - it's crazy what it does to your body!

Answer

If you are worried something is wrong it's best to go talk with your Dr. It may be normal but they will probably run some tests just to double check everything. It gives you piece of mind and if something isn't right it will be caught sooner :)

Answer

It's all perfectly normal I came off the pill injection and I bled on and off for 11 weeks shocking I know but the docs said it was normal as it was the injection coming out of my system x

Answer

Sounds like normal hormonal changes, the pill changes your hormones and coming off the pill changes them too, right now your hormones are probably all up in the air, wait a couple months to let it settle but if you are still having lots of issues maybe go back and see your dr
