Hi,
I stopped taking the contraceptive pill on Oct 1st. Normally I'd get bleeding 1-2 days after stopping, but I haven't had any yet.

Around Nov 8th, I was in the shop and suddenly got a sharp stab of pain low in my belly, probably in the uterus.
Since Nov 11th I've had abdominal pain and little stabbing sensations.
On the evening of Nov 13th I did a test. (Negative) so I thought my period was coming.
From Nov 15th onwards the symptoms got worse. Lower back pain, sensitive breasts (even walking hurt), sensitive nipples. And frequent urination and the feeling that you had wet underwear. Occasionally still some stabbing pains.

A while later, today Dec 9th, no more stabbing pains. Still have sensitive/larger breasts/areolas. Trouble with lower back, have a cold and white discharge.
Haven't tested again because I suspect this is part of coming off the pill. Anyone have experience with this?
Also no bleeding or period since Oct 1st. I also didn't track ovulation.

    No one here who can talk about this?

    After stopping the pill, it can take a long time before you get a normal cycle again. The symptoms you describe do seem to suggest that things are still settling. Give your hormones some time and wait calmly; stress can also cause you not to get your period right now. If you don't feel comfortable, you can always go to see your GP.

    No idea if this is relevant.. could be because your body can really be off balance for a while after stopping. I'd just take another test and otherwise wait for your period or take another test in a week.

    Thanks, ladies.
    I'm not stressed. I'm actually looking forward to my period.
    We're starting again for the 2nd. We've been trying for 4 years now but had a miscarriage back then. Now I first went on the mini-pill for 9 months, so I took the mini-pill 3 times.

    Before that, I always had back pain and sensitive nipples for 1 day before my period started, and then my period the next day. But this time the symptoms are lasting longer.
