i've been on the pill for like... idek, 10 years on/off, mostly bc i have such irregular periods. have thought about getting an implant but i like being able to control when i take the pills, like if i wanna skip a month or anything..
tried going off it a few years ago to see if there were any side effects from them i hadn't noticed/to see if i could get regular periods.. but honestly they've only made my life easier. On the pill i don't really have cramps at all, only have like 4,5 days period and basically no pms
i think the ones i take are called Estron
Agree they made my unbearable cramps go away i still have pain from time to time but not as bad as it used to be im honestly scared to stop taking it
as someone who experienced the same thing!! the first year post-pill was bad but I really put pressure on my doctors to try and figure out what the root of the unbearable cramps was. and we did figure it out and i’ve been taking folic acid supplements and. while I still have bad cramps from time to time (only one day during the cycle rly, compared to 2-3 days of debilitating pain even when on the pill), my cycle is more regular and longer than when I was on the pill (amazing stuff when you’re anemic!)
