I am currently on my 3rd period after coming off the pill as TTC.
My previous two periods was what i
consider to be normal ( lasted 5 days )
This one im a lil confused about as i feel very different .
The past two days ive been feeling sick on and off
Had light headaches , feeling like ive got or about to come down with a cold and im feeling very very tired and exahausted even after a 7 -8 hr nights sleep . It looks like it not goin to last as long as the others either . I know periods can differ but dont understand how i can be feeling so different with this one as to my others.
I didnt get the on/off sick feeling , didn't get the headaches and certainly didnt feel this tired on my others either.
Just wanted some advice on as to why i maybe feeling so different on this period to my previous ones.
 
Maybe take a pregnancy test when you come off your period? Could just be a normal period with unusual symptoms or that you have some sort of cold/flu brewing. Worth a test though. Are you tracking your cycles?

Yes, take a pregnancy test. Also, when I came off the pill I had weird detox reactions for months. It could be that your body is still detoxing the pill and hence the feeling sick, exhaustion and headaches. If it is a detox reaction you can do things to help the liver like eating dark chocolate, drinking nettle tea or licorice tea, and having lots of fresh fruit and veg and drinking water.
 
Yes, im tracking using two different apps.
Glow and ovia, im only using two as glow was telling me diff dates of Ovulation to the clearblue website one. My periods normally last 5-6 days looks like this one ending today which would be 3-4 days. I just wanted some advice from you lovely ladies as i felt poorly for the first two days this period where i havent with the others. Coz i was on pill for a long time and didnt have periods while on it. im newly learning again.
Do u really think it would be worth doin a pregnancy test?
 
You said your period seems shorter, you are TTC. Women can have lighter periods when pregnant. Given all the other symptoms it's worth a test if you want to put your mind at ease.
