Hi girls,
Thanks for posting on this subject, i have been going a little crazy over what has been happening to me in the last few months. I have just turned 24 and I stopped the pill in jan 2007 and my periods seem to have been almost like clockwork every month since then but there has been a few weird things going on. My cycle was extremely erratic before i started the pill which is the main reason why i went on it - to regulate things. I had very heavy periods as well. When i was on the pill they were great but i was getting morning sickness all the time which is why i stopped. Since i stopped, as mentioned before, they have been every month which is very different to what my cycle was before. I am just hoping this is just my cycle sorting itself out but i am also getting some very worrying symptoms - i always get really bad cramps, i feel dizzy whenever i move and i seem to have at least some aching in my lower back all through my cycle whether i am menstruating or not. I also get sharp pains in the vaginal area that literally stop me in my tracks until they subside. I also feel extremely bloated, which has always been a premenstrual symptom of mine as i have been having a few bowel problems as well.
Hope to be able to discuss things with someone,
Catchya,
