Microgynon 30. Advice on moods and whether it is typical to bleed after stopping?
I couldn't handle this depressive state so I stopped taking it on Saturday. I begin to bleed lightly yesterday and today I'm bleeding quite heavily. Is this common? Also will my moods subside? Has anyone any advice after taking Microgyn 30?
Many thanks within advance :)
Answers: I started taking Microgynon to postpone a period which is due to slump on my wedding day surrounded by a few months. I too started on the first day of my period, and hold been on for three weeks. I haven't stopped bleeding yet. This worries and irritates me extremely.
I have dreadful mood problems for the first fortnight, which are not as bad now, and an unholy craving for sugar which is almost forcing me to put away like a thing possessed. As we speak, I am also have cramps. I have never experienced either of the concluding two problems before.
I have read seriously of user opinions of this pill, and not many of them are apposite, but those that are say that you need to ride out the horrors of the first month, which even fan admit is unpleasant. Those who stop taking Microgynon usually say that their mood problems etc. subside almost right away, but others say that they have be screwed up permanently by this drug. (I think you'll be fine as you haven't be taking it for long). Frankly, I'm not sure that persevering is worth it, when there are so many other alternatives. The problem is finding one that suits you.
I hope you have a feeling better soon :(
PS I think the heavy debt bleeding you are having is a good sign- your body is trying to bear back the wheel after chemical hijack. I would be annoyed but not worried (as long as you don't pass out from anaemia). The hormones in Microgynon clear the lining of the uterus thicker, as I understand it, so in a minute there's more to slough off.
