As per doctor’s orders, I did two months of continuous dosing with Ortho Cyclen to avoid starting my period on my wedding day. I stopped taking the pill almost two weeks ago, and my symptoms have gotten worse ever since. The first few days off the pill, I had mild nausea after eating, but it wasn’t really bothersome.

After several years, the actual menopause symptoms would start to appear.
