So this is a weird thing. I've been on the same pill for 3.5 years now. Love it, never had any issues and as far as I can tell it's done its job lol.
Occasionally I do skip the break week because it ends up falling on the week my boyfriend is here. And I never really bleed, just spotting. Other than that I don't really get a period anymore at all since I've been on it.
However at the start of this month I did in fact take the break week for the first time in about 2 or 3 months.
What's weird is that I'm back on the active pills for nearly two weeks now and out of nowhere I've been waking up with what feels exactly like menstrual cramps. And sometimes getting them midday too. They're not excruciating and they come and go just like they would during your regular period, but in my 3 years of this pill that's never happened in the middle of the month and has never felt like true, real menstrual cramps like these do. This has been on and off for about a week now.
The even weirder part is that there's no blood, no spotting, not even discharge really since I'm well past that break week now.
This has never happened before, any ideas to what's going on?
