Question
I am 19 years old. I just quit birth control a month ago i was taking it for 2 years. I still have not got my first period since being off them. I am having unbearable stomach pains , I sweat, feel like i can't move,dizziness.Most of the pain i guess you can say is in uterus. Is this because my body is just getting the pill out of my system? could i be pregnant? or is it something else?
Hi Natalie,
I'm not a medical professional so I suggest that you check with your personal doctor. You could have something else going on that could be serious. I am concerned so please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens. Possibly some of it could be from going off the birth control pill but it's wise to check it out. If you want to get a free pregnancy test, then check out this website http://www.optionline.org
and find a free testing center in your area.
Hope this helps in some way.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
