Hi there. I was taking the mini-pill (Noriday) for about 8 months. before that I had a long time where I wasn't on any pill at all. Apart from the occassional bit of bleeding mid month (not often at all) my periods continued as normal. My doctor tolf me that I may not be fully protected as I was still getting periods. Anyway - last month I decided to come off the pill but 3 days before I planned to I had a very early and very heavy period (about 10 days early)and terrible abdominal pain.
I have never had painful periods so I was a bit concerned. It stopped though, and halfway through I ended my pill packet and just stopped taking it.
Basically my question is - I am expecting to get my period as normal on about 9th nov but am wondering what other people's experience is of the mini pill and their periods? Did your periods stop completely while on the mini-pill? Did anyone have trouble with them restarting? I am assuming that as mine never stopped I won't get what a lot of other women seem to and have to wait for ages for my periods to reappear.
Also - I know everyone says you should wait for a period before you start trying but we haven't, we've just gone straight into trying. I have been taking folic acid, am as far as I know very healthy, I know the date of my last period (Albeit an early one) and so I didn't want to hang about (I am 37 by the way!).
