I have been on the mini pill for over a
year and I was previously on the combined
since I was 15 I am now 25 but was taken
off combined due to being overweight.
I encountered lots of problems and tried
several different mini pills.
I was having irregular periods and
sometimes 2 or 3 a month.
I decided to stop the pill and had my last
period on 10 aug 03, I havent had one
since!
I stopped the mini pill a week after my
last period as I wanted my periods to
regulate have had all the symptons i.E.
Back ache abdominal pain and spots but no
period.
I have taken two tests and both were
negative so I am not pregnant but I am
worried especially after reading about
psos.
I encounter abdominal pain at the usual
place but also at the left side which I am
assuming is ovary pain.
I have read that periods can take time to
regulate after the pill but I had a break
from sept 02 to jan 03 and my periods
became normal.
I dont think worrying is helping. Advice
and simular stories please?

Hey! I was on the combined pill and moved
to the mini pill which ive been on for
about a year. I've had 'ovary' pain and
had to have a camera inside me 2 check it
out. Its just due to hormones but the
thing is, sometimes, tiny cysts can form
on the ovary which cause this pain.
Thye're not dangerous and will shrink on
their own-some people require tablets 2
help them along.
Ur periods will b irregular 4 a while-i
havent had one in months!!!!! And also,
it takes a while 4 ur body to get back
into that cycle again-dont forget, you've
been giving it something synthetic and
now, its gotta get used to using its own
hormones again
hope this has helped a bit!
Love liz :d

Thank you for your advice. I have been so
worried about this which doesnt help. I
didnt want to go to the docs just yet as I
hassled him enough when I was taking the
pill. Although the doc says it is normal
not to have a period as long as you rule
out pregnancy it doesnt stop you thinking
the worse.

Telford not far from you. Dont you think
that the mini pill is much more
complicated than the combined. I never
knew when my cycle was.
I am glad that someone else has
experienced it and that its nothing
serious.
Most woman would be glad that they wernt
having them!

Hey! A fellow english woman! Didnt think
there were any here!
Anyway, I do think mini-pill is slightly
more confusing cos u cud b pregnant and
not know it for months-at least on
combined, ur regular. Its not weird or
anythin that u aint havin periods
yet-it'll take time. I did find the ovary
pains pretty bad-i was so worried it might
b somethin serious. I was in agony with
them soemtimes but there was no
explaination 4 them-just hormonal.
On the plus side, it's great not having
periods cos I used to be in pain &
found them so uncomfortable and cos i'm v
careful, I dont think i'll get pregnant
unless I want 2!
Love liz x
