Dec. 1st, 2003 01:16 pmHello everyone, Thank goodness for this community! This is my first post and I apologize if this has been answered before. But here goes: I am a 33 year old who has been taking Birth Control since the age of 16. I was put on the pill at that age to make my periods/cramping less severe. I stopped taking the pill for 18 months before, during and after my pregnancy. My son is now 7, so that has nothing to do with this problem.
I have NEVER had breakthrough bleeding EVER. You could set the calender months by how "regular" my cycle normally is. I take the three weeks of blue pills, then on the fifth day of no pills, my cycle starts. Cycle lasts 3-4 days and that is it. ALWAYS. My period is fairly light, normally just a little pink on the toilet paper. The past two months, my cycles have been VERY heavy. I thought it was odd, but really didn't freak out about it. I just finished my last cycle about two weeks ago, I still have blue pills yet to take and I am having ANOTHER period. I haven't messed up my pills, haven't forgotten any, etc. PLEASE someone tell me what is going on. Do I need to go to the dr?
I am really in freak-out mode here, because this is SO abnormal for me.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
