Sudden Long Period on B.C- Help!
| Fri, 08-13-2004 - 11:30am |
I have been using the BC pill Ortho-Tri-Cyclen for a little over a year with no problems or complaints besides slight breakthrough bleeding in my first pack. Now, since a year on the pill, I have began to have almost constant bleeding during the hormonal and placebo pills in my 28 day pack. Sometimes the bleeding is light, sometimes the bleeding is heavy. It depends. It has been going on for about the past 2 and 1/2 to 3 months. It is REALLY difficult to deal with and I am worried that I am going to become anemic or if something else is wrong. Do you guys have any ideas as to why this might be happening? And what I can do about it?

Some things that can cause irregular bleeding are not taking your pills on time, loosing weight, and taking large doses (1,000mg or more) of vitamin C. For more about bleeding issues see, “Irregular bleeding anyone…?” in the FAQs at the top of the board. If your problem has been going on for several months it would be a good idea to talk with your doctor. You might need a pill change. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
