Didn't consider reactions to coming off BCP

So I've been off BCP for about a week now and my body is suddenly like: WHOA!!! WHAT'S HAPPENING???" I started getting odd headaches and feeling just plain weird. I almost cried at a cafe when the waiter told me that they were out of wraps! Last night was like when you have a fever and keep waking up and things are all weird except that I didn't have a fever - things were just weird.  Did anyone else feel like this? How long did it last? And how much did you period suck once you started getting it again without BCP to help reduce the bloating, cramping, etc?

    I wouldn't say I had bad symptoms, maybe a little moodier but that is about it. As for the period, I just started my first official period off the pill. My cramps were much worse than usual and my bleeding has been pretty heavy so far. I think it is just my body saying 'thank god for getting me back to normal' so I guess its a whole lot of backed up periods waiting to be let out lol

    For me, I was pretty hormonal for the first few days after I quit the pill. But for the most part, I actually felt drastically better. My periods have been fairly rough, but I feel more clear-headed, less emotional, less tired, etc etc. My body did NOT like BCPs and it seems to be pretty thrilled that I'm no longer on them. I've been feeling queasy the last several days, but that could just be post-ovulation hormones.

    i went off BCP in December, didn't get a period until the last week in February and i never got one in March - took a test last week it was BFN, but i have no idea when i ovulated or if i even did.. so i might have skipped April as well, ugh. it sucks. i just want my body to be normally so we can actually TTC but its impossible if you don't ovulate/get your period!

     

    Yes i know my siggy pic is huge, but the stupid bump hasnt let me edit my signature in about 3 months now so i cant change it.sorry in advance!

    My body really like being on BCP - I've always had fairly bad cramping and bleeding, but with the BCP I barely even knew when I got it..so I'm really going to miss that...but it will be worth it :)

    Hmm, I never had any side effects like that, just crazy periods. I could never tell they were coming...It's been about 6 months off BCP and I'm still not ovulating. When the cramps and stuff come on, I just hit up some tylenol and a heating pad. I suggest you start charting, that has helped me!

    This. And I had some unusual bloating/nausea. I wasn't on BCP for very long, so thankfully my symptoms weren't very bad coming off of them. 

    I've heard it can do crazy things to you, so I'd suggest just waiting them out...hopefully they won't last too much longer! My SIL had every pregnancy symptom in the book, so it's different for everyone.

    I would suggest charting, that will give you an idea if your body is regulating back to normal and ovulating, etc. It has really helped me. GL!

    I'm tracking when I should be ovulating depending on if I get my next period when it should be due.  But if it doesn't come do I just wait and then start counting after I get it again?
