Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I would first like to rule out the pregnancy here, if you did not have periods for the last two months as you have got off from the birth control measures.I do consider a need for the test.

If you had periods the last months and experiencing the symptoms mentioned above , I would ask you not to worry .As these symptoms could probably be due to hormonal imbalance which is very much expected after stopping hormonal contraceptives.This will surely limit on its own taking time ranging from 2 months to 4 months and this is normal.

Do take antispasmodics to alleviate the pain and avoid any kind of hormonal treatments for another 3 months to prevent worsening of the condition and let the natural hormonal levels study up.

Do take Multivitamin supplements , this will help to some extent to get out this problem early.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries I will be available to answer them.
