I'm pleased someone is talking about this!
I don't notice any difference between before CD and on CD, always have cramps, bloating, moodiness etc and pretty heavy flow too.
I do have a question though - my cycle is anywhere between 21 days and 31 days and there doesn't seem to be a pattern to it at all. I came off the pill Aug 2009 as we're TTC but my crazy unpredictable cycle really isn't helping matters. Last month I was excited because around day 24ish I got nausea, sore boobs etc but no sign of cramps and period starting. Turned out it was one of my longer cycles and came on day 29. So in about 14 months I think I've had about 17/18 periods.
I'm registering with a new doctor today (moved house) so should I be pushing them to take this seriously? I'm really worried about being seen to be 'making a fuss'.
Thanks x
