I stopped my mini pill 3 weeks ago, for the first week i felt awful all the time, cramps, bloated, sore nipples, sickness, off food, pain on only one side etc. This all stopped and i then felt okay but didnt have a bleed.
For the last 4 days ive now got symptoms again, very bloated, wind 🙄, light cramps, slight back ache, tired and my tummy feels heavy i guess as im going to come on my period but nothing!
Also last night my and OH has sex and i had a very light pink blood when i wiped myself afterwards which then stopped instantly.
Has anyone had any experience of this? Should i do a test? Is it too early or am i just getting period symptoms for a while before my period is actually going to come?
Can anyone help or give any advice im so confused. 😩

Basically after the pill your hormones can be all over the place for a while. It's nothing to worry about but also nothing to read into. All the symptoms you mentioned are typical of progesterone - i.e. the hormone that produces both pre menstrual symptoms but also pregnancy ones. They completely overlap but it's more likely you'll have aunt flo coming for a visit soon rather than it being a pregnancy seeing as you've been off the pill for only a few weeks.

@Juno231 thank you for your advice, its so confusing with as you say many of the symptoms over lapping. The first week i new it was just my body trying to adjust then when it started again 4 day ago i thought right my period is going to start then nothing then the same the next day etc. When i used to get my period before the pill i used to get symptoms the night before then next day af would come like clock work and its now been like this 4 days but i guess like i said its my hormones from the pill
