bubbleysugar.livejournal.comMaybe you guys can help me out here, I feel pretty stupid when it comes to my own female parts and what exactly should be going on "down there". I'm a twenty one year old female, i'm overweight (but that's slowly changing), I currently take the birth control Seasonale, so I only get my period four times a year. I started taking the white pills on May 29th.
By June 3rd I still did not have my period, since I was due to start up on my pills again the next day I took a pregnancy test, it quickly came out negative.
On June 4th I started to get terrible cramps, I spend all day lying in bed in the worst pain I've ever felt in my entire life, June 5th was no different except for the fact that I started bleeding that night, heavily. I went from nothing, to flooding. (never happened to me before)
On the 6th it seemed to stop.
On the 7th my normal dark flow of red blood became a brown flow of discharge, which is what the end of my period typically looks like.
Since the 7th of June till now (June 21st) I have been experiencing in no pattern that I can pick up on various stages of flow, sometimes I'm bleeding so much I need a tampon, sometimes it's the brown stuff, sometimes its a mix and sometimes it's nothing.
I have been under alot of stress lately but this just seems like too long for something to be going on. Just recently (2 or 3 days ago) I started getting cramps again.
I've been taking my BC just like normal but I haven't been having sex, I'm too freaked out too.
Should I go to the doctor? I've been trying to get advice since when you make an appointment there it's usually a minimum of two weeks wait.
