ADVICE NEEDED URGENTLY!!!!(please!)

I've just come off the pill and am sexually active, ive had really worrying stomach pains (could it be exam stress?) It's higher up than perios pains and not the same type. I know periods are irregular once you stop taking the pill but this one is over 2 weeks late and the pains have been occuring for about 2 weeks aswell. I'm confused! lol I'm really cautious about using condoms and being safe!....any clues? I know this is in another thread its a mistake sorry didn't think first ine went through (pc is dodgy!)

Go see a doctor.

If you've had pains for 2 weeks then you really should see a doctor

i concurr!

may not have anything to do with pill..........maybe appendix or something? i agree with these guys ^ go see a doctor...

I've just come off the pill too, and am sexually active. My period was two weeks late recently, and i had some cramps that were not my usual type. Two negative pregnancy tests, and some worying later it finally arrived and things seem to have settled. The cramps you mention sound a bit bowel related considering the area. Try peppermint tea, and get some gaviscon or rennies and see if that settles it. It might be overproduction of stomach acid whcih I think can be stress related. To be honest though it's worth a trip to the GP just for peace of mind if nothing else.

Mmmm maybe IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), it gives you horrible cramping pains just like period pain except in a different place. Many women with IBS find that their "outbreaks" are stress and hormonally related which could explain why you got if after you stopped using the pill. Mintec a medicine you can get in pharmacies is good for soothing the pain. Take a pregnacy test and talk to your doctor.
