Weird stomach issues every cycle since taking i-Pill
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone has gone through something similar.
About 2 months ago, I took the i-Pill (emergency contraceptive). Since then, my cycles have been kind of off. For the past two months (and now this month too), I’ve noticed a pattern: • Around 15–20 days before my period, I start getting really bad stomachaches, nausea, and bloating. • Once that phase ends, I immediately start getting PMS symptoms, and then my period arrives. • My cycles have gotten longer than usual, and I feel like my digestion (which has always been sensitive) has become worse since then.
This has been happening in the exact same pattern each cycle, and honestly I’m tired of it. I never had this issue before taking the i-Pill.
Is it possible the i-Pill has messed up my hormones this much? Has anyone else experienced long-lasting side effects like this? Should I wait it out or see a doctor?
Any advice or personal experiences would really help.
