Ok, so I've been off my bc pills for 10 months, after taking them for 11 years. I've been tracking my periods and so far have been some what regular (for me anyway- around 37-40 day cycle).

However, this past cycle was a little bit messed up and I've been been feeling pretty crappy ever since.

This past cycle my period was due on July 14th and it did not arrive until July 29th. When it did arrive it was light spotting for over a week (July 29-aug 7th). I did take a few pregnancy tests at this time and all were neg.

Also ever since this I have been having bad indigestion, constipation, bloating, back pain and left calf pain that sometimes radiates up and down my entire left leg.

I am now waiting to see if my next cycle will arrives on time and to see if these pains go away.

I guess what I'm trying to see is if anyone has experienced this after 10 months off the pill? And if anyone has had these symptoms? Possibly a hormone imbalance? I honestly would swear I was pregnant if it weren't for all the negative tests.
