4 periods in one month?????

Im currently taking Micronor BC since going off depo in Aug of 2007. It took all of 2 weeks after not getting my next shot for my periods to return. They were very normal for a while, until a couple months ago when i started spotting in between. Then on Sept 15 and 16th i spotted, then on the 20th i started bleeding, for 3 day i had what resembled my normal period. That stopped then the following week on the 28th i started again, lasting for 5 days, another normal like cycle for me. But on Friday i started spotting again, which soon turned very heavy, with lots of big clots (sorry TMI), and its still going. I had a pelvic done in June and my doc said im very healthy and have no problems. Should i be worried? Anyone had anything like this happen before? My DH is kind of worrying since i've never been like this before. Before depo i had a normal cycle every 30 days, 3 -4 days. Then i had no periods during depo and they returned to normal right after going off. TIA!!

Hi Ashleigh,

Unfortunately breakthrough bleeding is a common problem with the minipill. You may find that it continues to be a problem, it may even get worse. When I took the minipill, I bled constantly, and it was like having a full-on period every day. So it may be time for you to consider a change to something else.
