Anyone come off the pill and experienced real discomfort? (not TTC)

[fartmeistergeneral]

Came off cos I'm so prone to thrush that I thought it might help, but since then I've been having crampy feelings in lower abdomen (seems normal enough) but also sharp pain just above my right hipbone. It actually feels sore to the touch as if there was a big bruise there. Do you think this is connected?

Also, when I sit down I get a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, not unlike what would happen if I was a bit 'windy'.

Don't want to bother the doctor if all this is normal. Sure I would get some effects of being without a chemical I've been taking for 15 years, but a bit concerned about the actual pain.

Can't say for definite but it sounds very similar to how I felt after stopping the Pill 7 weeks ago, after 10 years. I am, however on Warfarin due to a PE, which can cause all sorts of aches.

Maybe see how it goes and then check with gp if things don't improve

any one else?
