Your body has to adjust to not taking the pill anymore. If you took it for five years, your body is very used to it. It's normal for your body to be wacky for a few weeks maybe even months. If you are really concerned ask your gyno, I do however, believe it's normal.

Side effects from stopping the pill can last awhile. In some cases, it can take a year or more before your body gets back to normal. I stopped the pill in june after being on it for 7 years, and I can tell you, my periods still are not normal. I am ovulating and they are regular every 26-28 days but extremely light flow, nothing like I was pre-pill. But if you're not even having a period, you are probably not ovulating. But first, take a pregnancy test just to be sure (though i'm pretty certain you're probably not).

The pill depletes your body of a lot of essential vitamins and minerals. You should try to take some supplements to help such as a b vitamin complex, calcium & magnesium, copper, zinc, and omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. You might also try a supplement called vitex (chaste tree berry). Some women who don't ovulate have tried it and had success. It works best over several months.

I too have noticed nausea and still have it, 7 months off the pill. I notice it is worse in my pre-ovulatory phase, from the day my period starts until the day I ovulate (really bad when I ovulate). I've lost about 7 lb. But the pill gave me horrid water retention and bloating.

* hi im teresa 21 years old. i stoped brithcontrol after being on it for 2 years i stoped my last pill may 16 got my period the 18th then that following sunday the 20th i tried to start on yaz.. the yaz made me feel realyl weird so i stopped it after about 4 days on may 26th i started a withdraw bleed for about 7 days... wich bring me to june2nd .. i had sex four days after that with a condom .. i still havent had a period since ..took a preg test came up negative.. will my period come agian.. and maybe should have lsitened to my mother and have neevr taken it in the first place.. help..

First, how can the pill deplete your body of vitamins and minerals? I'd want to see sources on that since it doesn't make any sense to me.

Secondly, yaz and other pills affect every woman differently, so teresa, there was a good chance you may have been just fine on it, as many other women are just fine. it's too bad you weren't, but yaz isn't one of the pills that has a lot of complaints about it.

I had taking the pill for the first time. And currently i had been taken roughly about ten pills. After i had been taken the pills from first day my period coming. My period last for the 11 days. Normally wil be 7 days. It is normal?

I am going through something similar, i had to stop the pill because of complications and now it has been 3 months but i still havent gotten a regular period yet. Sometimes i wake up with headaches and i also have nausea and indigestion.
