Hello everyone!
So quick bit of backstory/context: I'm 23 and have been on the pill since I was 14. Originally I was put on microgynon but I was getting really intense period-like cramping whenever I went running so after a blood test and ultrasound revealed nothing they switched my pill to marvelon which worked perfectly (no symptoms until now) and I've been on it ever since (bar a 1 year break between 2018 and 2019).
Essentially I've been getting really light, period-like cramping for the past few days now. They don't hurt hurt, they're just a nuisance, although today's are slightly worse than yesterday's. I'm on day 11 of my pill packet and this has been happening since I'd say around day 8. I missed two pills last month on days 4 and 5 but I got my period as normal so I don't think that has anything to do with this.
Anyone know what this could be? Is it maybe time to change my pill? I've heard you're not supposed to be on the same pill for a long time as your body can get used to it.
