I started taking birth control in September 2012. 3 months later I started spotting for 2 weeks, so I decided to get off the birth control, hoping the spotting would stop. A week later my period comes, but it doesn t seem like a normal period.. it was a thicker consistency. It lasted for a bout 4 days, and then the spotting started back up again...then 2 days after ending me period I start to get excruciating cramps on the lower right side of my stomach (more toward my pelvic bone). The first 3 days were horrible, making it hard to do simple things like sit down, or bend down to put my shoes on. But, then I noticed the pain decreasing after 3 days, and now it is more of a pain in the center of my abdomen . I don t notice the pain so much until I cough, or go to the restroom. (and I m still spotting). What could this be??? I read different possibilities online, such as appendicitis , or pelvic inflammatory disease ..others stated that it s just my body readjusting after coming off the pill.. I m hoping it isn t anything serious
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum.  You started taking birthcontrole pills, in September 2012, 3 months latter, you started spotting, for 15 days and stopped the pills. After 4 days of stopping the pills, you got the period, and it was thick, and followed by sporting, after 2 days, you had severe pain in right lower abdomen, for 3 days, then it comes down bit, and it is in the center lower abdomen.  While on pills, and after stopping the pills such changes are predictable, but it is not compulsory with every one.  Other possibilities are pelvic inflammation, Urinary tract infection, or stone in the urinary tract, of course may buy secondary changes they can occur.  I advise you to consult a cynic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I.besides other routine tests for confirmation.  Wishing for a quick and comfortable recovery.  Best wishes.
