I stopped taking the pill at the end of november and my two periods since then were very light and not too painful at all. I got it today, along with the worst cramps of my life, but they only lasted for an hour. It was the worst pain i've experienced from anything. I was shaking all over too.. No idea why. I thought maybe if I had been preg. I was having a misscarriage, but I don't think it was. I know the pill made my cramps and period light, but I don't remember my cramps being this bad before. Is it normal for them to be like this coming off the pill? My husband got home from work and almost took me to the hospital it was so bad. I'm totally fine now though. Can someone tell me if this has ever happened to them?
