Urgh! Pill withdrawal symptoms :-(

[AlternativeOpinion1]

I came off the minipill on Sunday in prep for TTC this summer/autumn. No symptoms until this morning when I had a nasty headache come on and stay on, nausea, cramps and spotting.

Not sure if it's the start of withdrawal bleed, ovulation or something else but I started tracking BBT, cervical mucus and cervical position this week on the Premom app.

Feeling rough and on my own as partner is at work till late. Just got to ride it out I guess! Here mainly to vent in the absence of partner and friends to chat to :-) Thanks for listening!

Yup I’m experiencing the same. My acne is out of control because of the hormone changes. Ugh!

I remember having horrible symptoms after stopping the pill. Especially cramps. Went on for at least 4 weeks.

In my case my first period didn't come for 2 months and took 6 months for cycles to become regular. So maybe don't get too stressed about tracking at first, things could be all over the place for a while. Good luck!

Oh and nausea. Kept thinking maybe I'm pregnant.... (I wasn't!).

I came off the mini pill 6 weeks ago and I had what seems to have been and felt like a normal 7 day cycle on 7/3, and then a 5 day cycle on 5/4.
I don’t know if my body had just kicked back into normality again but although I mentally feel better for coming off of the mini pill, I’ve been getting hideous migraines, spots, nausea every bloody day and bloating!
I came off two days ago and this evening I have pains, like the ones you get before af arrives. So odd!
I’m sure it’ll get better for us all! X

I came off the pill two days ago because I had extreme tiredness, bad headaches, nausea, watery brown discharge, no period aching books and lower backache
And now I have headache, nausea, hungry all the time, painful spots on face, lower belly sharp pain and I dont even wanna be touched or kissed by BF

I have this also. I came off about 7 weeks ago. The spots are awful, I've read they can last ages too.

Thanks Ladies, reassuring to hear it's not just me.

I seem to be getting worse rather than better, at least for now. The nausea has been escalating and I had to run to the bathroom to be sick this morning :( Feeling pretty rough and wondering how on earth I'll manage pregnancy if coming off birth control makes me feel like this!

Hopefully this is the worst of it and things will get better from here on!
