It is my first time back on the pill in 6 years. I've just finished my first pack and was hoping that my period would be less painful and I wouldn't have to rely on pain killers, but I'm wrong, it feels the same as it did when I wasn't on the pill! Will my body start to adjust into the second pack and make my next period less painful? I started the pill on the 5th day, which the instructions said I could do and left it 7 days before having sex.

it takes ur body approximately 3 months to adjust to the pill... so if by the 3rd month ur still having severe cramping i would talk to the doc but at this point everything is normal and pain is not unusual.. to lessen the pain cut back on caffeen and take an asprin 1 day prior to starting ur period (the asprin will think the blood just slightly and can reduce cramping) but i would wait 3 months to make sure that the pill isn't working before trying to change the pill

My first period on the pill was painful, but after that they got better, in fact I used to run packs together without a break cos I don't like having periods! I used to stop for about 2 a year, the doctor said that she didn't think it would do any harm, and when I stopped taking it I fell pregnant with no problems.

i have come off the pill and back on again but only for a month, you should find a few months down the line that your period swill start to ease and may get lighter, also aint you meant to start the pill the first day of your period?

I have never come off and pill and gone back on again, but when I went on the pill, my first period was afwul - worst one of my life. But after that they got better.
