Hi everyone looking for some advice. I stopped taking the mini pill 8 months ago. initially i had a horrible time - feeling sick etc but all seemed to be usual withdrawals. anyway ive only had 2 periods since stopping and i know this fairly common after stopping birth control that has stopped periods for some time (i was on either the pill or the depot injection for 13 years so no periods during this time). my question really is for anyone who has stopped the pill and noticed changes in their vagina. i dont feel any pain but i do feel uncomfortable down there at times and sometimes it feels 'hot'. ive had bloods taken today and booked in for a smear in 2 weeks but just wondering if this is a hormone chamge related problem? anyone experienced similar? thanks :)
