Hello all!

I am 29. I went off the pill in October. My period has been normal just like when I was on the pill but I am getting weird symptoms that I am not use to. I get bad cramps like I am going to start my period. My boobs hurt SOOO bad. I am just wondering if this is normal. I was on the pill for 7 yrs. The reason why I got off the pill is to try and get my sex drive back. I am in a relationship and we do have relations. I have read that it takes a while for a women to ovulate after being on the pill. Is that correct? Is there anything I can do for the cramps or the pain in the boobs?

I would go see a DR but I do not have health insurance.

Thank you, any thoughts are appreciated!

It can take several months for you to ovulate after stopping BCP, or it can happen within 2 weeks.

Your cycles will most likely be crazy for a while so use back-up contraception so you don't get pregnant without health insurance. It was about 4 months before my cycles regulated themselves after 10yrs on the pill

Thank you! It is good to hear.

One of the great things about the pill is that it often makes cramps and pms less severe. I hardly ever get cramps now that I'm on the pill, but they used to be awful when I wasn't. Try taking some midol or advil for the pain, that should help.
