You're either pregnant or your hormones are going through a rebound effect where they have been suppressed for a while and now they are in overdrive to get back to normal.

Your body may be adjusting to being off of b.c. pills. Usually that would mean irregular bleeding and longer periods. Hope your are ready for motherhood because that sure is a big possibility with the sign and symptoms you have given.

If you have just stopped taking your birth control pill you can get spotting in between your periods. if you are at all worried you should seek medical advise, just to put your mind at rest.

I went completely off birth control pills because the progesterone gave me headaches.  I'm assuming your IUD is the type that has to be changed every 5 years and has progesterone in it.  It can take up to 3-4 months for your body to adjust to the hormone changes. I opted for the IUD that is hormone free.  I have not had any headaches since changing to the IUD, but it did take a while for my body to adjust to the hormonal changes.  I went thru progesterone  withdrawal that included skin changes/acne, hair loss, weight gain. They don't tell you about those side effects when you go off birth control.

It may just be a reaction to the hormones.  Same thing happened to a friend of mine who is on the pill.

Welcome to PMS!\n\nIt's due to hormonal changes that come with your cycle.\n\nTry:\nEating more smaller meals\nAvoid caffeine, alcohol, salt, fats, and simple sugars (eat a healthy diet - no junk food)\nExercise\n\nIf it's severe, you may benefit from medication, such as birth control pills to regulate your hormones, or Serafem, which is prozac in disguise) to alleviate the mood swings.  You'll need a visit to a doctor for those, though.\n\nGood luck.

Yes for some people it is, for others it's the other way around. If you have had sexual intersourse after stopping the pill, you may want to keep an eye on things since there is the possibility of being pergnant. You can still get your period if you are pregnant and it will usually be a light one. Hope this helped

I could not take ANY form of birth control pills either. I would cry and have fits of temper that are not my norm. I finally got so bad that I was hitting my head against a wall and staring into space. My doctor wanted me to take the 3 month shot. I declined and within 2 weeks I was back to normal again and a generally happy person. \nEven though you don't have a medical degree you know your body better than anyone. Go to another doctor and explain to them your symptoms. If they don't listen find another one. You are not crazy and it very well could be the BCP's. I know it was with me.  \n\nGOOD LUCK!

It really depends on your body, and what type of pill you take. I know some women who have gained weight, had headaches, or other weird side effects, and some (like me), don't notice anything. You should talk to your doctor about getting a low-hormone pill that has the least side effects. If you notice after a few months that your body doesn't really like that pill, you should try another one until you find one that works for you.

When I started taking the pill, I ws hormonally balanced.  My hormones were fine while i was on the pill, but once I got off of it, that is when the troubles started.  My period became unpredictable and I spotted often.  I was irritable and I cried often.  I also have not been able to get pregnant for the past 6 months and my gynocologist said that it takes anywhere from 6 months to a year to concieve after stopping the pill.

I was on the pill Yaz or Yasmin for about six months, and I noticed some pretty drastic changes. In the first place, I noticed that my cramps became much less intense and have continued to stay that way even eight months after I came off the pill. But while I was on the pill, I noticed that I was bleeding large clumps, not the usual flow that I normally have (sorry to be gross). I also noticed that I tended to be a bit grouchier as a result of some extra PMS. So it was a kind of trade-off: virtually no cramps and decreased acne, but I grouched at everyone within five feet of me. Yasmin was probably the best pill I've been on and I highly recommend it if you are considering it. Good luck!

I had the same thing happen to me and my birth control wouldn't stop it. You should visit the doctor but what he told me was to keep taking the pill until the pack was finished then he started me on some with lower hormones.And within a few days I was back to normal.

Oh, honey, I am so sorry!  This is exactly why I had to go off the pill.  You would think it would make you more even-tempered, but NO.  At least not in my case, and apparently not in yours, either!  That's not to say I don't still have PMS ... but one thing that helps is being able to know what it is.  When you know you're reaching that time of the month, prepare yourself & your family!  As soon as I can tell myself (and my family) that I'm in a foul mood due to PMS, I feel like I can better control it.  Other than that, I would say you can ask your dr. if it's okay to take things like St. John's Wort, or if he has other suggestions.  He may suggest a lower dose of the pill, but it sounds like you've already tried that.  But he may have other suggestions as well.  I feel for you ... it's not fun for anybody!

Yes and spotting .. give it a few months and you will go back to normal... if not you may need to have your pill adjusted.
