So I used to be on the pill for around 3 years and it was the one which stopped my periods. Prior to being on the pill, I always suffered with a really heavy flow. I came off the pill at the end of last year and my periods were how they used to be, up until June time. They have been extremely painful especially on my left side where my tummy was that you could feel the heat from under my clothes. I went to my gp about it who then referred me to get a scan as she thought it was a cyst but it came back clear. My periods have been also really light and during my heavy days it is not as heavy as it was in the pass. I used to always get a lot of clots but now i don't. I am 23 and I don't even know if its normal

    Each organism is unique, I have the same situation. Initially, I was on the pill, but depression and overweight made me quit taking them. So I chose the Nexplanon implant and was pleased with the result. Periods are regular, not painful and I feel fine.
