15 days on birth control. stop. get period five days early. lighter then usual.. nipple tenderness. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: This is a pretty typical response to stopping bcp early in the middle of a pack. The hormone withdrawal induces bleeding and the nipple tenderness is usually an estrogen effect from the ovaries once again trying to make estrogen without Progesterone balance.
