okay here's the shortest version...... started bleeding on my second week of active pills, basically was like a period. Lasted 5 days. Now I'm done with my pack, and still haven't started. Any ideas? HELP!!

Hi Coreysmom...


That's a tough one... I'm not really sure. You might want to let your doctor know about that one. Did you just begin taking BCP? Sometimes it can take a few cyles to get your body used to them.


Sorry I don't have a better answer. Good luck and please keep us posted on how your doing...

Thanks, but my period came last night. I've been on this birth control for over a year now. And I did call my doctor, went in for an appointment, and he did no tests, he just wrote me a prescription for a new birth control. If I would have been pregnant it would have been okay, I'm trying to still decide if I really want to try again. I have two kids now, Courtney who is 7 and Corey who is 14 months. I just don't know if I can make room. We only have a 3 bedroom house. And is it really fair to make Courtney share a room? It would be easier to put an infant in her room than with a toddler. But I'm still undecided. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Laura,


Having another child is always a hard decision...have you and your partner talked about it? If it helps any, I have an older sister who is 7 years older than me, and growing up we always shared a room. We're extremely close now, she's pretty much been my best friend. I think that having sisters (or brothers) share a room helps teach them certain things about life in general...sharing, dealing with conflict, things like that.


That's just my 2 cents...hope it helps
