I was older than you at the time, but had been on pill for years and came off it while docs were investigating some symptoms. My periods were horrible when I stopped the pill. Turned out I had endometriosis, which was being controlled by the pill. So if you do come off it and your periods are still awful, take the chance to get investigated!



As far as I understand it, there’s no particular reason why you need to give your body a break from the pill. So just stay on it if it’s working for you.
