A GP had a feeling something wasn't right with her after she didn't get her period after coming off the contraceptive pill for the first time in 16 years.
UK-based GP Charlotte Badescu and her hospital doctor partner, John, wed in 2021 and decided to start a family. After stopping the pill, she got no period and any pregnancy test she took showed up as negative.
The 32-year-old told the ECHO: "Even as a GP, I was extremely confused and obviously anxious about what was going on. I knew it can be normal not to have periods for up to a few months after stopping the pill, so I was trying to reassure myself that I'm hopefully just in that group of women where it's normal, but I had this underlying feeling of, 'What if there's something going on?'"
