I finished a ten day cycle of Provera which brought on my period as it always does. A regular cycle, nothing out of the ordinary. I started a new pil, the POP Micronor, on a Sunday. I'll be starting my third week today.

Any my period came today. I wasn't expecting to even have one, much less following my second week on this pill. It's thick and heavy and clotty. Am I just being paranoid and this really is all right?

I'm hoping it will be gone soon. It has such awful timing. Bah!

my regular period has a super heavy thick and clotty consistency for a couple days out of the period. I believe it's normal, probably has to do with the fact that the new pill you're on is a different kind of progestin-only pill, which directly effects the endometrium (the stuff lining your uterus-aka the stuff that comes out when you have a period). I did a little bit of research and came up with this:

hope that helps!

Oooh, thanks for the link.

I never get my period unless I'm on a pill (I've only done the regular combined ones in the past) or if we induce it with the Provera. I'm a bit surprised to have what definitely seems like my period halfway through this pack of pills.
