Hi everyone.
Second posting here. 7 weeks ago today, I took my last pill and my boyfriend (who comes home in 3 weeks) decided we would like to TTC. Two days later I had a withdrawal bleed then 4 weeks later had a proper bleed. I went to see my GP last week though, because I had a tan coloured, or very pale brown staining on my panty liners for a couple of weeks before and a week or 2 after too. What really started this though ,is that a local young woman had died (just as I came off the pill) of cervical cancer. I saw it on Facebook, and I stupidly googled "symptoms of cervical cancer". I ended up freaking myself out, because I had had a period within 2 weeks of another one (probably due to being on Cerelle and taking it late, One reason I came off it too as I was so bad at taking it!), and this pale brown discharge since I stopped. In the last week it has settled down. My GP just said it's my hormones settling down and that if my periods become erratic or I bleed after sex or don't have a period for 4 months I've to go back. I had a sore back for a few days and I am freaking out about that too! Basically in the back of my mind I think I have convinced myself I have cancer. My mum had a heart attack 3 years ago, and I seem to have developed really bad health anxiety since then. I have spent hours trawling websites and even started feeling my cervix as well (which I was advised against, does anyone have any opinion on that?) I felt a few little bumps on it one day and well that was me. ....Funeral planned and everything! My smears are up to date (due again next year) and I have no other symptoms but you know what it's like when you convince yourself you have something. Nightmare! Ruining whats supposed to be a happy time :(
