Question: So I REALLY need some help from women who have experience with coming off of the pill..?
I've been absolutely INSANE!
My first period since stopping the pill was 3 weeks late, this one is almost 4 weeks late and counting. I've been having ovulation pains (i'm assuming they're coming along with ovarian cysts, because my gyno said that's not uncommon at all), sometimes they're just a little noticeable and then sometimes they hurt pretty bad, but only for a second, then they go away and then come back again.
I've struggled with fatigue, some cravings, breaking out like crazy, and INSANE mood swings that make me cry like a little girl over nothing or make me feel EXTREME rage for no reason whatsoever. It's just so irrational!
I know these symptoms are completely normal with coming off of hormonal birth control, especially for taking it for over 3 years, but is there any way to make it ease off a bit.? Is there anything I can do to help regulate my hormones faster, or at least control the symptoms.?
Thanks much!Health Question & Answer
