Coming off the pill/ cycle tracking as contraception

Hi guys,

I’ve recently decided to come off of the pill, the fact that I haven’t had a real period for years just made me feel weird. Would anyone be able to share their experience with coming off of the pill ? When did your period go back normal? Was it heavier/lighter than before? Were your period pains worse? I only stopped taking it last week, I haven’t even started to bleed yet, but I’m having the worst period pains I’ve ever experienced. (Since I started the pill, my period pains definitely got worse anyway)

I also want to try cycle tracking as a form as contraception (avoiding sex when ovulating etc).

Does any one have any advice on this ?

Thanks :)
