Hey neadyneady, no I didn't get that. I got the opposite. Had no sex drive while on the pill at all but it came back when I stopped the pill.

I did get headaches however. I think everyone is different but it is normal to get messed-up symptoms coming off the pill. Pregnancy, pms and coming off the pill symptoms are all the exact same. You'll learn yourself what's normal to you though as your hormones balance out.

thanks for the reply hopefully it will come back with a bang in a couple of weeks!!

Ah, I'm sure it will! If you were able to have a sex drive while on the pill, I'd say it will return no bother.

I came off the pill OCtober and to be honest that first 4 weeks since coming off it were a complete nightmare. I didn't feel like sex at all, felt like I had a massive hangover every day, was nausea, my boobs hirt, my head hurt, my whole body ached. I experienced ovulation and period pains for the first time in 7 years and wondered what the hell hit me!! lol

I say for me once I got my first "normal" AF I felt a lot better.. my sex drive has hit the roof again and my hubby thinks all his birthdays have come at once!! hehe

Give it a little time and you should be back to normal.

Good luck

I came off the pill just before the wedding and then we went on HM and I can't say i noticed any difference

Hopefully you will be back to normal soon
