Feeling Bad

[seastar73]

If I stopped my pills on May 3rd, should I still be feeling this all of the following symptoms today, May 14th: tired, sluggish, a little discomfort in my abdomen, terrible headaches, and not to mention at least 4 to 5 trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night! I have only been taking the pills since June 2009 and I stopped on May 3rd as stated before. I know there are symptoms from stopping the pills, but should they last this long? I know it is too early to take a pregnancy test, I'm not ruling out pregnancy, but I just want to hear from people who have stopped taking pills and had symptoms! Thanks!

Yesterday was the same thing with the skirt I wore.........I beginning to get very uncomfortable.......and I usually go to bed at 8:30 but lately I stay up until 12midnight or later!

I stopped taking the pill a little while ago but from what I can remember the headaches were awful for the first month or so.  I think that your symptoms could be related to stopping the pill because it's going to take some time for all those hormones to get out of your system and for your body to adjust to not having them anymore.  It is possible that maybe you are ovulating now as well and that could also explain your symptoms.  Your periods may even be a little abnormal for a little because of stopping the pill.  Good luck and I hope you start feeling better soon.
