bleeding again and so much pain! help

So relatable.

I think it's just normal if you haven't had your period for a long time; your body needs to restart. Hope it's back on track for you now?

Yeah, it seems like you're coming off the pill too. Some people get their old cycle back right away, while others can wait months or even up to a year. An irregular cycle is also part of coming off the pill.

I got a light bleed right after stopping the pill, and then I didn't have a period for two to three months. The week before I got my period, I felt sick, and then I had a heavy bleed for a few days. I also had a lot of stomach pain, and the doctor prescribed me ibuprofen for the pain and heavy bleeding.

My cycle came back nicely that month after 28 days, and then the following month I was four days late and had a lighter bleed.

It's really frustrating because you never know what to expect, and your body is basically playing tricks on you.

Let's hope your hormones balance out quickly and we can get back to a normal cycle.

By the way, I think it's important to call the doctor if you don't feel right or have doubts. We might recognize your story, but the doctor actually studied this stuff!

Good luck!

Yeah, it could very well be that your body is indeed a bit thrown off.

Hopefully it'll be a bit longer after this, because with a cycle under 20 days, there's usually no ovulation.

My first cycle after my daughter was born was 15 days. Then 11 days, and after that fairly normal again, between 29 and 34 days.

Good luck, and give your body a few rounds to recover and get back to working on its own.
