Trying to keep it brief

  • Came off the pill on Jan 28th
  • Had normal monthly ‘period’ afterwards for the normal 5 day duration
  • Had a fair amount unprotected sex since (with Husband!)
  • Had some withdrawal symptoms since coming off the pill - headaches, cramping, sinus pain, sore back, dizziness - all things I don’t get on a normal period
  • Period was scheduled to hit yesterday (according to Flo)
  • On Wednesday I started to spot and it has continued since. Yesterday I thought my period was starting as it got a bit heavier and I considered changing to a pad rather than a liner which I have been using. It’s not heavy enough for a pad. But spotting pretty much stopped over night.

Is it just a case of waiting for my normal period to return? Was this the period but just different and light after 10 years on the pill?

I guess no-one knows the answer and in my own head I probably know it’s just going to take time for my body to reguLate again.

This post appears to be a whine rather than a question :)

Hmmmmm I guess everyone is different but when I stopped the pill my first few months were super light, then one month they hit Niagara Falls mode before settling down.
I did 14 years on the pill before stopping now AF is as regular and reliable as they come 😊
