I have been put on the pill for 6 months with a break after three months and currently on that break. The first day of my period was painful but I dosed myself up with tablets and went to work and travelled. However today is my second day of my period and I nearly wasnt able to get out of bed it was so painful to move I also put off from going to the loo in fear of pain! Also a few days before my period I kept getting stomach pains and I had 4 dizzy spells! I was wondering has anyone been on the pill for a big chunk of time then come off it to find its made the pain 10x worse?

I was exactly the same! I had a 2 month stint and that was bad enough, the period was so heavy and the pain was intense. I was then told to run them together until I bled and take a shorter break of 4 days which helped ease up on the heaviness, which might be worth looking into, or a progesterone only pill which can stop periods all together. Good luck! x
Thank you for sharing your experience! I should only bleed for 4days because I need to take my tablets again soon. Hmm I think the pill that stop it all toegther maybe the best but it scares me if I need to come off it 😩 Thank yoou x
