After being on the pill for 10 years I’d forgotten how much heavier my natural periods were than the withdrawal bleeds when in the pill. Touch wood at the moment no where near as painful as I recall them being as a teenager though - which surprised me I was gearing up for an awful time but so far that’s fine, maybe just higher pain tolerance now?
we talk about cycles going back to how they were pre-pill a lot (obviously!) but what about AF itself, did you find them the same as before? Surprised that you’d forgotten what a natural period was like? Do you think my horrendous teenage period pains will come back after a few more months of being off the pill?
