I've slowly become fed up with it, took it to lighten periods and ive become unorganised(joining packs together without breaks, missing them) and I've decided to come off it now as I hate pumping my body with hormones and its affecting my moods . I'm just scared about what's going to happen next. I came off it last week , had a withdrawal bleed , now it's finished and I'm not sure what's going to happen now. Do you get your first real period straight away? Does it take a while? I work long hours and I'm so frightened it'll start unexpected at work .. And then I have to travel two hours home each day... Also any body changes? Like acne returning or pains, breasts getting smaller, losing weight etc? Any advice would be appreciated! I don't want to put my body through it anymore but I don't know what to expect now. I really don't want a period straight after a withdrawal bleed. My bleeds last a week and my periods used to last the same amount of time too, so it'd be so frustrating if it did :( Also I am wearing night pads for withdrawal bleeds they are large and very uncomfortable but I'm scare of leakage..is it going to get even worse now for a real period.Thanks for your advice I feel a bit lost

 Hi
Everyones different. I just lost weight and thats it really,that was after 10yrs on it.
Carry spare tampons and panty liners etc your period will just settle into a new routine.
See the Nurse or GP at your practice if you have concerns

 My period only started earlier when I stopped mid-pack, the other times nothing unusual, boobs shrank, otherwise no changes. I've started and stopped them three or four times now.
If you are worried about it starting early, try a Diva cup, they are awesome. You can also wear pantyliners just in case.
