Change in symptoms for me

Came off the pill in November after taking the pill for quite a while.

I started bleeding constantly so I was told to double up on the pill to stop the bleeding all together but that didn’t work I ended up bleeding constantly.

After coming off I started having the normal once a month period.

For the last few months I’ve gone from bleeding heavy for 10 days to now bleeding for 24/48 hrs.

My abdomen has been constantly bloated to the point I look 6 months pregnant along with horrendous back pain.

Also I’ve noticed when I eat it’s almost like the bloating g is pressing in my stomach and making me really uncomfortable.

Through my 11 yrs of having endometriosis I’ve always had regular bleeding apart from when I’ve been in the pill back to back they have stopped.

I suppose I’m slightly worried as this is very different for me.

Perhaps a visit to my GP is in order just to be sure x
