She makes me bleed, oh yeah

OK,

So, I've been off bcp's (dianette) for a couple of months and decided that when my next cycle begun I would once more begin the daily chore of swigging them back. So, last Monday I started to bleed and began to take the tablets. Normally I bleed for 3 days, and so by Thursday it had stopped. However, on Saturday I noticed a red stain in my knickers and by Sunday I'm experiencing abdominal cramps, lethargy and have started to bleed once more. Now then, during the past week or so I've been sick but not within around 5 hours of taking my dianette. Could this have imbalanced me? I've not experienced anything like this in the 7 years I've been menstruating. Has anyone else experienced this? Or does anyone have any idea why?

Any feedback appreciated muchly xxx

Pills will do that, especially if you changed the type/brand of pill you were taking before. They told me, stick it out and try it for 2 or 3 months and see if things normalize (luckily my body adjusted after the first few days). Might want to call your gyn or clinic or whoever to ask them.

Women who start a pill pack early in their period often experience spotting throughout the whole pill cycle. Basically there's a war going on between the pill and your uterus. The pill tells you body to conserve endometrial lining; your body tries to fight it since it has decaying endometrium it would rather not have sitting around.
