I have been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for near 9 yrs. I recently decided to stop due to my cycle the last 2 yrs. has been "break through" bleeding (so this is what the Dr. is saying). I didn't mind the 1-2 of light flow and some months I would go 1-3 months with no bleeding at all. I checked with several Dr.s to make sure that was normal. I am 40 now and wasn't sure if maybe I was para-menopause. But my bloodwork came back normal in hormone levels. I have no sex drive. So I am hoping going off the pill I can see how my cycles are and maybe my drive will kick back.
I just want to know after that many years of being on a pill what I can expect as to side effects? how long will it take for my hormone level to adjust? My Dr. recommended Novasure procedure but I don't know if I am a candidate for that when I barely have a cycle now.
Any suggestions or answers would be great!
Thanks

Well I am kind in the same boat as you are expect that I am 47 years old and have been on the pill for 17 years almost 18. I went off of them last October and I have had 1 day periods until May and since May I seem to be either bleeding or spotting most of the time. I don't have any of the symptoms of starting menopause and I just wanted to see what my cycles were like once I stopped taking my BC pills. I would like to know if this is normal or not. As far as not having a sex drive when I was 40 it was pretty active and still is so it may not be the BC pills that caused your sex drive to drop it could be something else.
Thanks
