What advice would you give for girls just finishing the pill
I'm now entering third month of ttc. (which is cool)
Reading daily, as i do, i notice so many of the same posts coming through week by week and some of them i really note as something i would have posted when i first came off the pill. And now i feel really like i was quite naive and ignorant to comment s that i may NOT have liked reading - i.e expect to NOT get pregnant first time around etc.
Just so some of our new girls can take some advice what would yours be? and what experiences etc have you had which were similar to others.
For me! My advice would be - stay relaxed!! dont stress and enjoy bding!!
My experiences after coming off the pill:
Hot flushes
Off Food completely
Extreme fatigue
dizziness
mood swings
cramps
Lateness of a.f (extremely common) - had a withdrawal a/f within days of finishing and then 49 days for next a/f to arrive!
I hope this helps some girlies out

While I was on the mini-pill my periods continued every month (At one point the doctor was concerned I wasn't protected as apparently they should have stopped) So now I am unsure about what to expect. Seeing as I was bleeding regularly anyway I was thinking that I'll just get my period as normal.
I haven't really noticed anything stranger than usual since I came off the mini-pill though. I was bleeding unexpectadly (A week early) before I came off it.
Maybe for you, its a matter of flushing the pill out of your system, so i guess in a way your similar to the combined pill girls where its a matter of your body readjusting to 'normality' and working on its own?
IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE LOL

it doesn't always stop Ovulation. Online it says this...
"The mini-pill does not always stop the ovary releasing an egg each month (ovulation). It thickens the fluid (mucus) at the neck of the womb (cervix) which makes it hard for sperm to travel through. The mini-pill also makes the lining of the womb less likely to accept a fertilised egg.".
So I am guessing because I was getting a period (You don't take a break with the Mini-pill) I was still ovulating the whole 8 months I was taking it!
femulen is a mini-pill , right? I was on Microgynon for a while too
But i guess its a little better for the body because it doesnt MESS you up soo bad... all in all, its just our bodies trying to adjust without an aid? if you get my drift.
