i came off the pill during my exams (cus i ran out and didn't have chance to go and get some more)....big mistake, my period was late (which scared me, although it shouldn't!) so when it came i took my pill on the 1st day or whatever, i've been bleeding for 2 and a half weeks now, not heavy period i just wear like a light tampon all day. Really pissing me off going back to the doctors soon something has gone wrong! I'm on Loestrin....also i've put on weight since coming off the pill, but i'm sure you'll be fine if you do it properly
