    Hi AnithaPartha !

    I used Femilon OC pills. Experience with pills is quite different. First thing they are convenient, you can stop any moment and back to normal which is not the case with IUD. Second, No special feeling like something inside us, all is fine.

    Negatives - we may experience weight gain and mood swings (just in my case )
    Need to take daily ( a test to our memory power )

    Hello Ladies,

    I took BCP for 1 month and I stopped. Even after stopping, I was getting periods every alternate week and when I called dr today they explained that it's due to the hormones which stay inside our body and takes sometime to get out and the bleeding which I had was 'breakthrough bleeding' seems...

    They had asked me to wait for 1 more month then visit dr..

    Even though we stop pills, it looks like the hormones stay within body and may continue bleeding alternate weeks and then will become normal seems..

    Anyone experienced this with pills?

    Please let me know.

    Hi,

    I've sent you a PM. Did you experience any unscheduled bleeding twice a month? I got twice periods in a month and even after stopping pills, I'm getting it the same way .. :(
