Thread: Strange Period after quiting the Pill

Bug, I have had strange periods since I quit taking my pill 3 months ago. I'm getting one every 2 weeks. I think it is where I took the pill for 6 years and now I'm not taking it. It really sucks!

Hi MorganMichelle. Your symptoms are the same as mine. I quit taking the pill on 2 feb and have had three 'periods' since then. The irregularity is driving me crazy. Have you now resumed your normal cycle? I think that I may not have ovulated properly and I have been reading like crazy about all this stuff and I think the irregular bleeding is due to high oestrogen levels. Let me know how you're getting on. I have an appoitnment with a gynaecologist in three weeks but I dont know if I can wait that long. All my blood tests/swabs etc came back normal from my gp. I had an ultrasound done and i have an irregular endometrium, meaning the lining of my uterus is uneven. I"m hoping its all due to the after effects of coming off the pill.

my problem is I quit taking the pill in november. Since then I have only had one period that was light and short. I just wish it would normalize. But I have heard the same thing, that it may take months before you have normal cycles again.

Hi I Am Having Same Trouble I Stopped Bc On 14th March07 And All I Have Had Is 4 Days Of Brownish Discharge, We Are Trying For Another Baby And My Dr Said That This Was My First Period Since Gooing Off Pill. Its All To Confusing For Me I Looked At My Ovulation Calendar And It Said I Should Have Got Period 17th April, Nothing Yet Weird Cramps Dizziness Sore Boobs. So We Are All In The Same Boat

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,
