Never Ending Bleeding On Birthcontrol, Pregnancy Related? Posted: 10-19-06 19:19pm
Hi, i've been on ortho novum 7/7/7 for
almost two months. I'm 3 days before my
2nd month of sugar pills. I've missed
about 5 pills throughout the month, (not
all at once) and I take them the next day
along with my other pill, and i've not
taken them exactly on time..When I first
started the pills, I bleed for two weeks,
then starting my 2nd month, i've been
bleeding this whole month along with
nausea and extreme sleepiness, which was
my 1st pre-pregnancy symptoms. I was
wondering, could the bleeding be caused
from the pills causing stress on an
unknown pregnancy? I know your suppose
to miss a period, but i've heard and read
you can bleed while on birth control.
I'd appreciate any opinions or advice.
Thank you.

You can bleed while on birth control. It
is called break thru bleeding.
Your hormones are probably in an awful
state since you aren't taking your birth
control pills consistently at all. And,
not taking your birth control correctly
and as prescribed, can lead to
pregnancy.
You may want to take a pregnancy test.
When it hopefully comes back negative, you
need to re-evaluate your birth control.
Maybe you need something that is less
restrictive and requires timing and
consistency. Maybe you need to find
something that is more spur of the
moment.
Whenever you miss a pill, you need to use
a back up birth control method (condoms).
