Bleeding After Stop Taking Pill
Posted: 09-28-06 23:44pm

I tried 'the pill" for the first time. I started my period on a sunday and that was also the day I took my first pill. After taking it for 1 week I didn't like how I was feeling (neasus, mood swings) so I stop taking it. Well now i'm bleeding again as if I just started my period. People who are on the pill now tell me it's normal and that my body is just reacting to the change of not taking the pill anymore...Is this normal?

This is what happens when you start and stop the pill quickly, it is normal.

Side effects like that generally go away in 2-3 weeks-2 months, so you need to give your body time to adjust. The pain, nausea, and mood swings of pregnancy are farrrr worse than any associated with birth control.

I have been pregnant 3 times, I should know...

Nuva ring is excellent, it dos not cause the nausea, and mood swings are kept to a minimum...

It's Perfectly Normal.

I was on tricycolen low for about 3 months when I finally decided to stop [it was making me far to sick]. I bled for about 3 weeks and afterwards was fine. Don't worry about it, it is perfectly normal!

Totally normal, your body is just adjusting to the hormonal changes.
