I had been on the contraceptive pill for 17 years. Started taking it at about 16 years of age. Had just met my BF (now my dh) aaaahhhhhh!
I had also suffered with severe period pains for years so the pill was to help me to deal with that also.
It did as planned and my periods were much lighter and less painful.
The only time I stopped taking it was obviously while TTC, pregnant and BF my two dds.
I made the decision, along with the doctor, to stop taking the pill just before christmas as it was felt that I had been on it more than long enough. So that's been about three months.
Started my third period today since coming off them and I have felt dreadful. Huge stomach aches and aching running through the tops of my legs. I am so worried that things are going to go back to how they were when I was younger.
Anyone been through this? TIA
