Mini pill

Hi all. As I'm single and have been for nearly a year so don't have sex. I am thinking of coming off the mini pill to give me body a break from synthetic hormones. I stayed on the pill as I was worried about having periods back and the period pain as I used to get it quite bad.

Has anyone done this and how long does it take for your body to go back to normal so say. Should I finish a pack first? And if I do still get heavy painful periods again than I can just go back on them right?

I came off the mini pill after being on it for 15 years and my periods came back after around 2 months and were better than before going on the pill (I went on it for bad period pain too and they disappeared whilst on it)

I have to say, coming off it was the best decision. I started to feel like myself again and have real emotions. For me, the pill dulled everything. Good luck!
