Coming off the Pill After 9 years

So a few weeks back I made the decision to stop the contraceptive pill not because I want to get pregnant or anything like that but because I came to the realisation that I was and have been inputting loads of hormones into my body for about 9 or more years now and wondered what that was actually doing to my body. So I decided to stop the pill, lets take it back to why I first starting taking the pill.

why I starting taking the Pill:

So I first started taking the pill at the age of 16 I believe, now this wasn't for protection it was to help control and regulate my periods as at the time I remember I would have a period but it would be very heavy and painful so painful that when we went to the doctors they thought I was having a miscarriage. Not only was my periods painful they was all over the place id go from having one every month to not having a period for serveral months then when I finally did have a period I couldn't cope. 

So we went to the doctors and explained everything and they suggested the pill and since then I haven't looked back until now. They put me on the pill where you have a break from the pill and have what they call a fake period as its not a natural period at the end of every month which I was on for a couple of months and I felt fine with but they then had to change this to another pill where you do not have a period or any break from taking the pill as the previous pill was affecting some of my other medication.  

One thing I did notice when taking the pill is that every month around the time where I would be due to have a period I would have major mood swings aswell as getting the normal aches and pains that you would get when you have a period. Now these mood swings were so bad that id snap for literally no reason and when my mum tried to talk to me about being moody well lets say her head was bitten off. These mood swings seemed to get worse every month and I just didnt know what to do about it. 

Reasons why I feel the need to stop the Pill:

One main reason why I feel the need to stop the pill is to see and feel whats its like to have a period again as I haven't had a period in about 7 Years and complete forgot how that feels. I just want my body to start functioning normally. Also it would be interesting to see if my periods are still as heavy and pain full now that im older. I knew it may take a long time for my body to adjust without the pill but I just really wanted a period I know crazy. 

 What i've noticed since being off the pill:

One main thing I have noticed is my mood swings have stopped yes im still moody sometimes but not all the time I feel like people can talk to me now with their heads being bitten off. Now I knew it would take a while for my body to sort itself out before I would have a period, in fact it took just over a month and at first it was painful I mean the stomach cramps were horrible but the only lasted a day so definatly no where as bad as they used to be. One thing I will say is that before I actually had a period my boobs were so sore it was ridiculous but I belive that was my bodys way of getting ready to have a period. I never thought id be saying this but it feels so good to have a normal period I feel like a real women.
