I just had my break week from the pill recently and on the 17th I started my "period". My break week ended 5 days ago and I stopped bleeding on the 21/22th. All is normal regarding that but my "period" was sooo painful this time, it's normal for me to have painful periods but this time it was more painful than usual and the pain lasted basically the whole time. It's 25th now but I'm still having very painful cramps. I went on the pills like 5 years ago BECAUSE of my painful period cramps and they really helped me but now for the past few years, more and more frequently they seem to not be that effective with the pain anymore. I just want my uterus out at this point. I know I need to go to a gyno but has anyone had the same happen?
