Hello girlies, i'm sorry i haven't really been on much. I'm in the very slow and painful process of dieting and doing weight training at home, trying to take it slow and shift some of these curves.
My question is for any of you who have gone off the pill whether it was only for a few months, or forever. Since we moved house i had to find a new doctor that was closer. Now, my last doctor, kept giving me my prescription because my blood pressure was sometimes high, but sometimes normal. And he was nice, he knew i was trying to lose weight. But with this new doctor, the first time i turn up there, my blood pressure was high, so he said i couldn't get it till it went down. He said my history with my other doctor doesn't matter, he's starting a clean slate. That and being a new patient he wanted to give me a urine test, feel around my stomach, the works!! He says he's thorough.
So using up my last few pills and i went off, i got my period the normal 4 or 5 days later. Now, it's been about 4 weeks since it finished, and the last few weeks i was absolutely freaking out! I had pregnancy like symptoms. Every single day my stomach was sick or sore, i had trouble sleeping. Well i have er...only been intimate once since my last period finished, because of the whole freaking out saga, but i didn't want to worry Tristan of course a condom was used, since i was no longer on the pill). Well i'm the queen of stress and irrational thinking! And to top it off, the last week my left nipple was so sore it was like i was kicked in the chest. But, thankfully, my period did in fact start last night, only 6 days late!
I was on the pill for 3 years. And i read that it could take many months to become regular. My mum who was on it for alot longer than me, had hers go between a month apart, and sometimes 2 weeks apart, she's been off it a year and it's still not regular, but i think because she's 49 this year, she might be close to the M word (been coming a few years now we all think)
I want to know if seeing that my body has adjusted so quickly, should i expect it to come around the normal times from now on? What have your experiences been? I thought 3 years was a long time to be controlling my own periods/adding hormones to my body and i didn't think it would turn up so promptly.
Some advice please! I know it will be different with everyone. Isis knows how this actual period is going to be anyway, i'm hoping it won't be too heavy. I hope i can go back on the pill one day, i don't stay over at Tristans when i do have it, but i used to be able to at least plan when it arrived so i didn't have to worry, now it's out of my hands and i have to write into my calendar *sighs* Tristan has said though since i've gone off, i seem to have been in happier moods and more affectionate, he can see it better than i can anyway. I felt more secure being on the pill, but if he can see that it's lifted my moods and energy a bit, i don't know what i'll do.
*sighs* some comforting words will help girls
