Okay well here is goes, lol. A while back I was having issues with bleeding for a month at a time for my periods, well the doc gave me provera. Which worked wonderful and I stop bleeding. I had a few more regular periods and then it happened again. I called the doc and he called me in provera once again, and the bleeding never stopped. Well I finally got fed up with it and made me an appointment, which I went to today 2-11-08. But last Thursday 2-7-08 was my last day of provera and the next day I just up and stopped bleeding which was wonderful.

Anyways when I went to the doctor today he said everything looked and felt fine but he wanted to do a complete pelvic ultrasound because the linning of my unterus may be to thin, which exsposes the blood vessels and allows for more bleeding than normal. Okay so question is: Has anyone ever had this or know anything about it? I have looked on the web and have not really found out to much. I am just kinda freaking out here, I have the ultrasound appointment for Tuesday 2-19-08. If ayone knows anything about this I would be so delighted if you could explain it to me.. Many Thanks

I'm having somewhat of the same problem.

I've been on ortho tri-cyclen for almost 5 years now. I took the pill to regulate my menstrual cycle, and it has been fine until recently. This past April I had an irregular period. It occured at it's usual time, but the cycle lasted almost ten days. Now in June I'm having the same Issue. It's been 11 days. I just went to my gynecologist and he told me that since I have been on the pill for so long it has cause the lining in my uterus to thin. I was concerned about the affects of this in the long run, because I would like to have children someday but he said that I shouldn't be worried. Instead he prescribed me to take 3x the dosage of birth control pills for a week, and then the following week to just take two pills a day. After those two weeks I was supposed to go back to my usual one pill and my period should be fine. This just still worries me though, because I don't want to risk any long term damage, and is it even okay to be taking that strong of a dosage of estrogen? He told me that I would be nauseous for a while. I'm really lost here, so if anyone knows please help!

I had my lining of my uterus scrape , be cause of abnormal period. I was told that couldn't get pregnant again. Is this really true.

No, vmcswain - I really don't think so. I think you have misunderstood what you have been told.

You say you had a 'scrape' because of an abnormal period - this suggests to me you had a D&C procedure (dilation and curettage) and that should not effect your fertility.

I think you need to go back to your doctor and ask them to explain everything to you again. If they start explaining and you don't understand, stop them and ask questions.
