Funnily enough I'm in the same bit! I only came off my pill 13 months ago but I didn't get a period. After 6 months I went to the GP and had some tests to find out I have PCOS and I was put on a 2 week pills to induce a withdrawal bleed to clear me out so to speak. I'm on my honeymoon now (typical) and I've been on around 5 days and I've gone through 3 boxes of tampons 😭

Fingers crossed it's the start of something good!🍀

@Pinkroseuk I'm sorry PCOS is so shit. I was diagnosed at 15. When I came off contraception to TTC (it was the implant but I don't think that makes much difference) much first couple periods were ridiculous when they came back. I had one that was 16 days long, and another was slightly less but so heavy that I cringe to remember a day that I bled through pad and underwear in less than an hour and then stained a work chair. Awful. But I am now pregnant (with some assistance), so it can work out ok. Good luck. Thanks

Thankyou both -
Hope it eases @Ls2204 especially on your honeymoon!
Thankyou @Dinosauraddict I'm hoping it is the start of something - we were told ivf or nothing but this seems a little light At the end of the tunnel
