Thread: Bleeding since thanksgiving

I am 23 years old and have almost always had predictable periods. But all that has changed. About 7 months ago I switched my birth control pills to Seasonique for Orthotricycline Lo and I was not impressed. The thought of not having my period but 4 times a year sounded great but then when I did get my period it stuck around for 3 weeks and I hated it. So after I called my doctor to have her call in my old prescription to the pharmacy so I could get off these pills and my life could go back to normal. If I only knew what was instore for me I would have purchased stock in tampax and always because I would be rich!!! I started back on Orthotricycline Lo again and started my period which I expected due to the large difference in hormone levels but I never anticipated for it to last this long. My period began the day before Thanksgiving as a normal very light flow and then gradually over the next few days it became increasingly more heavy to the point that I have had incredibly large clots that I have never imagined could come out of my body. Now that it is December 26th and I have had my period for 30 days and it's getting worse instead of better. I thought that it should be expected because of the change in hormone levels but I am begining to FREAK THE ......OUT!!!! I mean I had an abortion like 5 years ago and I didn't bleed this bad. I go through a super tampon in about two hours and as soon as it comes out so does a giant clot. I now am gettign scared to call my doctor. I'm terrified of the things that could be wrong and the more I read the worse the fear gets. I recently got married in Spetember and my husband and I are planning on starting a family next year and my biggest fear is I wont be able to have children!!! I could not handle that fate it would end me! Please someone help ease my mind before I loose it!!!

the same thing has happened to my sis-inlaw and its mostlikely due the the cangeing of bc and your hormon levels are out of wak try getting off them for a while until your body gets back to its normal self and than go back on the bc my sis-inlaw did that and it seemed to work for her if its the fear of getting pre`go than try using condoms because it gets tireing bleeding contantly it unconfteble and unessassry but thats just from her expreince you should call your obgyn you dont want to lose too much blood but they might call it abnormal bleeding but dont let fear keep you back from happiness or health
