Hi girls,

I was on the pill without a break for about 8-9 years, and I found it really screwed me up!

My periods were all over the place, I started having PMS and couldn't work out what the heck was going on with my emotions, and I swore I would never touch the pill ever again! I haven't taken it since 2005 (age 34) and my cycles have never recovered. I can go anywhere from 28 to 31 days, where once I could set my watch to a 28 day for 5 days. I guess now the best thing is I only go 4 days, but it hits with such vengence I don't think it would make it to 5 days! lol

I was suspected of having PCOS but my oestrogen levels were all normal, and I already take meds for diabetes that they use for PCOS and pregnancy anyhow, because I have diabetes, which is the reason they told me I had PCOS.

I totally understand though guys what the pill does over long term to periods so Im with you there. Give it some time, and certainly, if you periods don't seem to be getting in any kind of rhythm, you might be able to quiz your GP about the success rates of a curette just to have a good clean out that might even trigger the body back into gear??? I sure wish I had have!

I don't mean to dampn your spirits, but just a perspective incase you want to examine it further with your GP if troubles persist.

Take Care

Mejane.
