I am just coming off my first period after coming off BC and it was YUCKY. I had a lot of PMS symptoms prior to this period (sore breasts, nausea, back pain, etc.) in the past couple of weeks. It was 38 days in between my last period and this one (first one off bc).

The flow was heavy the first two days and the back pain was unbearable the first day of my period. However, it's lasted my usual 4-5 days and the flow subsided in the 3rd-4th day.

Mine felt heavy and long and it was early.

Mine was on schedule, heavy, and painful. Oh those first set of cramps were the worst. I had horrible post birth control symptoms two weeks after going off. I lived off of Advil for two weeks to get through it. I had two weeks of nothing, then my AF showed up.

Symptoms coming off BC/combined with period symptoms were the worst ever, in my entire life. Nausea , soreness, cramping, more soreness, I also started up "picking up new smells" (which made me think i was pregnant). Coming off the hormones really threw me for a loop. After two weeks of this the symptoms were gone.

I also had majorly sore breasts which I took as a pregnancy symptom because I had never had that as a PMS symptom before. I also noticed an increase in headaches, really, really crappy skin, my cycle got longer (went from 28 days to 32), and I had a bad case of the munchies.
