Irregular periods...
I'm on birth control because when I had my period I would have really bad cramps and bleed a lot. It helped, but now I have been getting it every two weeks or so, which I'm not supposed to do seeing as how I'm on birth control. I talked to my doctor about it and he upped it, but it isn't helping. The flow is light to moderate, but it lasts around four days.
I had an ultrasound a month or so ago and I had a small cyst but he said it should pop. Is there anything I could do? |
That happens with some types of the pill. Is it the mini pill? It's a fairly common side affect to have some inbetween bleeding. Don't worry about it, it's only down side is annoyance.

It is worth going back to your doctor about this. they may want to change your pill to another type to stop you from having such regular bleeding.

Thats not terribly uncommon. Have you had your hormone levels checked? it might be that your hormones are slightly out of whack and the pill is contributing to this, as the pill only works properly on hormonally balanced and healthy women. The cycst may be contributing to the problem, But I'm not a doctor so I couldnt say. Id say get your iron levels checked too just to check, esp if you are bleeding more then normal. When I was on the pill I had a period for 6 weeks straight, so the pill can do strange things.
Please take care, eat lots of iron or take a supplement and make sure you keep your doc informed. |
