stopping the pill and desregulated cycles 😭

No-No

I started the pill 3 years ago. I had thyroid issues and amenorrhea (no period) because I was suffering from anorexia.

I began with just thyroid medication and once I started getting my period every month I started taking the pill too, to make it more regular.

However, the past 12 months I had all sorts of trouble due to taking the pill, yeast infections would appear the week before I had my period, or vaginitis, or even cold sores on the inside of my mouth.

Basically, hormonal variations due to the pill were doing that to me. I talked to my doctors and even changed the pill I was taking a few times but it didn't help...

So two months ago I stopped the pill...

last month it was late by two days, but this month I'm 5 days late and I'm just wondering if it's normal (?)

well, I'm on a healthy weight now, and on vacation (=stress free), my hormonal levels were fine last time I checked (it's not my thyroid) so I really don't know what could be stopping it.

I am sexually active but I always use condoms and there was no problem that I've noticed this month, so I guess it's unlikely that I'm preggo... but I'll take a test in a few days just to check.

anyway, has anyone else experienced a desregulated cycle after stopping the pill?

thanks for reading xoxo
