I need some advice. I have recently
started having heavy periods that last
about two weeks. Then i started taking
birth control pills and then it got better
but then i stopped taking them for a few
days and I had my period around march 20th
and then i got it again on April 1st. Is
there a reason why this could be
happening? My periods are really
heavy...i have to wear super plus tampons
and overnight pads together and two hours
later i bleed through it...i've messed up
so many clothes. Even when i took birth
control pills this happened. Any
suggestions???

How long were you on birth control pills?
Sometimes women have to take them for at
least 6 months before they see any
lessening in their period.
Stopping birth control pills abruptly (for
a few days mid cycle) can cause breakthru
bleeding, and random bleeding that seems
like a period. Always try to take your
pills at the same time every day to avoid
this kind of thing.
YOu should see a gyno if you are concerned
with the amount you are bleeding and/or
are not seeing any relief from taking your
birth control pills.
I have been taking birth control pills
since october of last year to try and help
with the heavy bleeding. I was doing well
but the pills i was on gave me severe
cramps and it made me have severe mood
swings so the doctor switched me to
something else and it worked better but i
just could not remember to take them.
Those pills have worked better but i am
also trying to diet and i feel that they
are are making me gain more weight so that
is why i decided to stop taking them. I
am going to make an appointment with the
doctor so that they can tell me what birth
control pills will help with not making me
gain weight and to stop all the heavy
bleeding....
