Stopping the pill side effects (microgynon 30)
Hi
I stopped taking microgynon 30 on 11th June, I had my breakthrough bleed then on the 16th of july ive had what i think was my first real period. Well anyway since ive stopped taking the pill i just havnt been myself and just wondering if this is normal. Ive suffered with alot of headaches, and having bouts of feeling very sick and sometimes abit lightheaded. These symptoms seems to have gone abit easier now, but now I am feeling really really low and depressed, I just want to cry at everything and I really dont know why!!! I feel like I did 3 years ago before taking the pill when i used to have moodwings and feel really depressed and i hate it!
Also just wondering i read somthing about taking st johns wort or something, like a herbal thing for mild depression, is it safe to take when trying to conceive? also ive been looking into taking folic acid, but for some reason i always thought you took that once you were preg and not before.... did many of you take it while ttc?
thanks xx

i've just come off the same pill as you after being on it for 8 years. i've only ever had 3 normal periods before going on it. i came off mon june 21st and finished my last pack. i'm still waiting for my true period. i've heard everyone is different with their bodies, but i don't know if my experince ive been having will relate to what you have being experiencing, but last week mon 19 of july - 25th july i had the most weird pains down below and felt like i was coming on, like cramps, feeling realy tired, feeling really emotional like never before and my legs would ache like crazy and i just wanted to lye down all the time. i calculated that it was the time for my pill period ( every 21 days) but still havent come on yet and its mon the 26th of july. i am very anxious as i've only ever had 3 normal periods at a young age which were very irregular. i'm hoping my message will help you in some way cuz you've helped me knowing i'm not on my own. i guess it might be our bodies adjusting to normality again.

Just thought I'd share my positive experience. I was on microgynon 30 for 11 years until coming off 3 months ago. I had a weird 2 day bleed a few days after my withdrawal bleed finished, and my first proper AF (arrived day 29) was pretty painful by my standards - seriously achy, bad back, horrible skin, but aside from that, things have been ok. My cycles have been 29, 33 and 33 days, and I haven't had (touch wood) any awful side effects. I think it must just vary from person to person.
Hope your bodies sort themselves out soon! xx
Feeling a little better today, I think works been getting ontop of me because im not very happy in the job im in at the mo, and i think prob coming off the pill has jst contributed to me feeling down and making everything seem worser than it actually is. Thanks for everyones replies, its amazing how just a few comments can make you feel so much better when you realise others are going through the same thing. x
Hi everyone I am completely new to this. I stopped taking microgynon 30 on Mon 17th Sep 2012 and had my withdrawal bleed on Thurs 20th Sep 2012. This bleed finished on Mon 24th sep 2012 as it would normally. I then did not take the next packet of my pill.
I then began to bleed again on Thursday 27th sep 2012 and it finished on Sunday 30th Sep 2012. Wednesday 3rd October 2012 not being too honest but I had a small bleed after sex. From then we have been having sex regularly and from Sunday 7th October 2012 I had really tender breasts for 7 days they also became bigger in size. I was hopeful that this meant that I was pregnant but test was negative.
Yesterday 16th October 2012 I began to bleed again...I am confused as to whether this is my first proper period??? someone help as I am struggling to work out with the bleeds I have had which is my proper period and how I can work out when I will be ovulating????
I came off Microgynon after 14 years on it and had my first bang on 28 days, then 31 days then 26! There is no logic to this! My last period was only 2 days full on then dragged its heels for the next 3, not usual at all. All I can say is it must be our bodies trying to regulate!
Hi Ladies,
same sort of problem as some of you, myself & my parner decided to come off mycrogynon & try for a baby.
I had my "pill Period" the 20th of october -24th of october... then on the 30th of October I began to bleed again and was a lot heavier than usual and to this day 7/11 i am still bleeding.
Is his normal? would this be classed as my 1st "proper" period, hope someone can help!

Hi Kayleigh mays - I came off the pill in december too, and apparently your first cycle may be longer than expected as your body is getting used to not having hormones controlling it.... so I have read anyway.. x
