I recently stopped taking my bc because it was way more aggrivation then it was worth. I was having bleeding and was taking the pill consistently. Now my boobs are soooo sore all the time, and i'm really gassy. Has this happened to anyone else?

Bleeding stops after you use it for 2-3 months.

For a comparison..If you got pregnant, you would bleed for 2 months after childbirth :/

nuva ring is known to cause fewer breakthrough bleeding problems than many other pills.

The copper iud is not hormonal, so it would not cause the same bleeding problems that hormones cause.

I'm sorry you experienced so much bleeding. Unfortunatly, it happens the first few months. Actually, breakthrough bleeding can occur at anytime during birth control.

What I think is happening to you is, your body is trying to adjust itself because your no longer on the pill. Your hormones are going crazy right now. My boobs hurt all the time so im used to it. Right now I am so swallen im a d cup!! Just go to your gyno if your concerned but it sounds normal to me.

Thank you for the re-assurance. It wasnt just a few months of bleeding it was 7 months and it just got worse as the months progressed the bleeding got worse. I guess it has been so long since I haven't been on the pill that I forgot what it feels like what its like to not be on it. I'm gonna keep an eye on it, if it doesn't get better i'll get it checked out by a Dr.
