Now I remember...

As I've mentioned before, I recently went off the pill for the first time in 13 years. I'm in the third cycle and holy crap! Now I remember what cramps felt like. I need a hot bath and some sweat pants. Can't wait to be reunited with my old friend on Sunday.

    Oh gosh, that is defiantly one of the perks of being on BC, cramps not as bad. Many medicines that help you with the cramps?Hope you feel better soon

  • :( Hope you feel better!

    I didn't end up going off the pill this cycle as I had planned, but I think this will be my last one.

    If you don't mind me asking, what method(s) of bc are you using now, if any?

  • Ouch!  Feel better Jenni!!
  • :( ouchie. Heating pad and some ibuprofen stat!

    I don't know if I should admit this but the only full proof one. No babies here!

    sorry if that was too personal! I'm just thinking about what we'll do for at least until I get my period again after quitting the pill. I'm not sure if we'll actively TTC right away, but I don't want to try during that time period when I'll have no idea when AF is coming.

    Not too personal at all. I've heard good things about new Lifestyle condoms. Sounds like they've come a long way. My cycle's been so screwed. I'm really excited to get back to "normal". Sad that normal to me is drug regulated. I ate some salty chips, a Snickers and an oxycodin and am feeling much better.
  • This is one of the many reasons why I started on them in the first place.  I had break through ovulation a couple of months ago, thought I was going to die from the pain!  I don't know what I'm going to do once I hit that 35 mark in 3 short years.

    I hope you get through this relatively pain free!

  • I am on Seasonale and I can already tell you it is going to kill me when I have to go back to a normal monthly cycle!  Hope you feel better soon.

  • ::butting in:: I went off the pill a year ago after the wedding and ever since then I have horrific ovaluation pains...in fact this morning I woke up and couldn't move until the pain let up (I even felt the pain shoot up my back!). Is it suppose to get worse after 35? Oh gees.
    Married 6/10/09 in Bermuda.
  • That is for sure one of the perks! That and super light & short periods (for me anyways).
  • Oh I just went through this last month for the first time in 10 years. I felt like I was going to die.

    I think she meant, she'll probably go off of the pill due to added risk.
