Recently Stopped Taking Birth Control Pills Posted: 11-12-05 18:30pm
I've been on the pill for 14 years. I
just stopped taking them the last week of
august! I had my period like normal in
sept., but it was a week late. I didn't
get my period yet since then. It's over 2
weeks late! I still get all of the
symptoms of menstruation which doesn't
make much sense to me. I have
menstruation cramps, and major moods
swings! I've fought of feelings of nausea
(kind of like motion sickness), and even
the odd dizzy spell whenever I get out of
the shower. I've had the odd chest pain
as well! My sex drive has gone through
the roof though! I also have this
moisture problem down there that is
leaving this slight odor. It kind of
smells of urine, but not really! I don't
quite understand! I've also had this
numbness in my pinkie finger which I don't
understand either!
Is this all normal for quitting the birth
contol pills that i've been on for so
long?
Very confused!!!
