I stopped taking the mini pill about 2 weeks ago after having been on it over ten years. I was having irregular bleeding and felt at 46 that it was time to have a break from the hormones.
For the last few days though I have felt rubbish! I'm bloated and feel achey in my pelvis as though I'm about to start my period or have trapped wind. My health anxiety is in overdrive (I've diagnosed myself with breast cancer, bowel cancer and ovarian cancer in the past few days.) I feel really depressed and could cry at the drop of a hat. I can't sleep either. I do suffer from anxiety and associated low mood for which I'm on Sertraline, but I've not felt like this since before I started taking the sertraline.
I'm starting to wonder (hope) if it's linked to stopping the pill and the drop in hormones or something but I can't find anything online suggesting this is a thing. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
