Breakthrough Bleeding on Pill
| Thu, 05-20-2004 - 8:44pm |
Hello everyone! I'm 25 and have been on birth control pills for 10 years now. I started when I was only 15. A couple years ago I started getting breakthrough bleeding while taking the pill on time everyday. It wasn't bad enough to do anything about back then. But now.. I'm basically having 2 periods a month, with breakthrough bleeding in between. I'm lucky if there's a week out of the month there's no spotting at all. My question is if any of you have known someone that this has happend to? If it's normal? My OBGYN has tried different pills, tried giving me extra estrogen for 3 cycles.. and still it's happening. I'm concidering going off the pill. Do you think that would help at all? I'm also very bloated all the time (since this started). Something isn't right. I thought I might have endrometriosis.. but my cramps aren't that bad. I'm sooo confused and would love some advice from anyone! I feel like nothing has helped. Thanks so much!

I went off the pill last June, & things have been great. My periods are short & far apart.
However, if you don't have a reliable form of birth control lined up, this may not be the answer!!!!! (My husband had a vasectomy)
Give us some more info!!!
Let us know what happens!
Good luck :)
