Need Help "Long periods on the pill"
| Mon, 09-04-2006 - 1:27am |
HI
I have been taking the pill for a little over a year and a half. Ive had only minor problems at the start headaches and such. But now i am having very long periods 10-14 days and minor 1-2 days of bleeding in between. Is this normal?? Anyone else having this problem??

Are you taking any other medications? The only time I had this happen to me when I was on the pill was when I was taking an anti-seizure medication for migraines that interferes slightly with protection and caused breakthrough bleeding and prolonged periods.
Other than that, I would talk to your doctor. It may be time for a pill change if yours is not able to sustain your uterine lining. (this can happen randomly after awhile, especially if yours is a lower dose one)
Hope you find relief! That can't be any fun.
no not taking any other meds
Thank you
I agree, it may just be that you need a pill change.
