I'm 48 and on the combined pill (cilest). When I came off it for a while last year my periods were much closer together than when I last had natural periods and also very heavy so assumed perimenopause. I went back on the pill to lengthen my cycles. However, my withdrawal bleeds are still extremely heavy, although I do have fibroids. However, I've also started getting stiff legs. It's like I've done too much exercise and wears off once move around. Also get restless legs and a bit hot & sweaty at night.
So is it possible to have mild peri symptoms despite being on the pill?
