What Is The Reason For Abdominal Pain When Not On Mercillon Pills?

I'm 47, and still take Mercillon pill; mainly to control when I have a period and keep light. My GP said okay to take until I'm 50. I'm in good health. Over the last 3/4 months a couple of days into the 7-day pill free break I've been woken up early in the morning with low abdominal period like pains. Bleed starts as always approx 4-days after ending pill. Once period over and I'm back on the pill I'm absolutely fine. Do I need to be worrying about ovarian or other problems, or could this just be something to do with hormones?

Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM.

That is absolutely normal, and nothing to worry about it.
