Is It Normal To Have Abdominal Cramps After Coming Off Birth Control?

I came off my pill start of august for me and husband to try for a baby. Since I've stopped taking my pill after taking my pill for 8 yes my periods are heavy painful. My stomach cramps are lasting for 3 days and can't sit down properly. Is this normal? How long does it take for the pill to get out my system? I'm desperate to gave a baby.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Since you have taken pills for 8 years, the artificial hormones had taken control of the body. After 8 years of use of the pills, the hormonal axis of the natural body will take time to adopt.
This is why you have different kind of bleeding causing more clots and the uterus trying to adjust to the new hormonal environment.

Normally it is seen that it take hardly 3 to 6 months to have a normal pattern without any symptoms related to menses after stopping the pills.

Please do not worry, you will get adjusted very soon.

Go for ovulation study, a consultation of a senior Gynecologist.
Treatment for the stress and anxiety.
