Common Questions and Answers about Bleeding between periods birth control pills

period

Avatar f tn part of the pill, but my periods are really heavy and my cramps are awful!! Does a birth control pill stop the bleeding completely, or just extend the amount of times between periods? Also, I have read online that there are estrogen or progestin-based pills...is there one that will work better mainly for the purpose of decreasing my flow or stopping my period all together?
Avatar f tn Hello WhatsUpDoc, I just wanted to say that I myself am going through tje same thing. Well I do not take birth control pills. It's driving me crazy. I hope someone has an answer for us.
192270 tn?1216261777 As you will see below my period comes every month, but twice every other month. I have never experience this on other birth control pills (period were once a month) 2/5 to 2/10 3/2 to 3/5 3/9 to 3/12 4/6 to 4/9 5/5 to 5/8 5/24 to 5/28 6/1 to 6/6 7/1 to 7/6 My concern is I had unprotected sex with boyfriend yesterday and this morning I had a lot of discharge, not smelly, yet thick and stretchy. We always have unprotected sex, he loves cumming inside.
Avatar n tn Started on birth control pills 5 months ago simply to try and regulate my periods and lessen the severity of bleeding. First I was on Levlen which worked fine for about 3 months, even managed to skip a period successfully. Then started to get breakthrough bleeding half way through cycle which was continuous for 3 weeks but some days worse than others. Went back to GP who changed me to Brevicon which is a stronger pill.
Avatar n tn Is it normal or appropriate for a 47 year old woman to be taking birth control pills for reasons not related to pregnancy prevention?
Avatar n tn Please discuss this with your doctor. I am assuming you are not on birth control pills, if you are, are you taking them at the same time each day? Also, make sure that your doctor has checked your thyroid levels because low levels can sometimes cause spotting.
Avatar f tn I'm 28, sexually active. No birth control pills. During the middle of Janurary to Feburary of this year I bled each day, enough to fill a pantiliner about a half a day. I was scheduled to go to an OBGYN but was cancelled and pushed back another month due to weather. I stopped bleeding from the middle of Feburary and had a heavier than normal period but then stopped. Tonight I started spotting again. I have had 2 negative pregnancy tests.
Avatar f tn Did u have irregular bleeding before starting birth control? Any bleeding in between periods?
Avatar f tn m going to have her try going on birth control pills to see if it will alleviate some of these issues. She is not sexually active and this was totally MY idea. She's very hesitant about it but wants to discuss the pros and cons with the gynocologist. I've made her an appt. for the middle of June but in the meantime I'd like to get informed since it's been years since I've been on the pill and I'm sure they are much better now.
Avatar f tn Sometimes with the pill you can have bleeding between periods all of the sudden. And sometimes rougher sex can make you bleed a little, too. It could be either one, I wouldn't worry too much.
Avatar f tn I am on Trinessa birth control pills. I was wondering if I could use my birth control pills to start my period about a week early, only because my boy friend is coming home from the military the week that I am supposed to start my period and I don't really want this to happen. Any suggestions?
Avatar m tn Hello, A complete medical evaluation may be necessary for appropriate diagnosis and management of your condition. Bleeding in between periods and irregular periods can be due to several causes. The commonest cause of is hormonal imbalance. The two hormones regulating a woman’s cycle are estrogen and progesterone. If they get out of balance, one may have spotting.OC pills can also cause irregular bleeding.
Avatar f tn I have vaginal bleeding and spotting in between periods. Its been going on for over 3 years. My gyno doctor just keeps changing my birth control pills. I'm very frustrated at this point. Is this something that you experienced?
364288 tn?1300144506 I have been on Ortho Tri Lo but the past few months I'm having bleeding between periods with it. My OB decided this past week that I need a all-month high dose instead of the low, medium, high dose pack that the Lo has. She called in a new kind but I forget the name...haven't picked it up yet because I need to finish out the Lo pack first. We'll see! I will say the Lo has made my periods a breeze, very mild cramps if any and no PMS.
Avatar f tn Break through bleeding is bleeding that happens when the pill isn't working well enough with your body to trick it into thinking it's "pregnant", preventing you from ovulating and preventing you from menstruating. If the hormones aren't strong enough, you'll start to bleed/menstruate, which means that type of birth control pill isn't working for you. It could be break through bleeding or it could be something else, which is why I would suggest you see your doctor.
Avatar f tn I dont take any birth control pills. And on 7th day of my cycle now i have bleeding that usually comes on 2nd day.....Any suggestions or conclusions to this problem....i got an appt with doc in a few days....
Avatar f tn I've been trying to conceive for a few months now, I stopped Depo-Provera at the beginning of August & switched to Ortho-cyclen birth control pills but Im not longer taking them, I've only had one period since stopping birth control Aug. 29,2013 & I had intercourse Sept. 28, 2013.
Avatar f tn Hi, I think u need to go and see a doctor. Bleeding heavily like this isn't right. Birth control is actually meant to regulate your periods,make them lighter and less painful. Missing pills can alter your bleed but it Aldo lessens your contraceptive cover especially if u missed a pill in your first or last week or missed more than one pill. Also as your not using a condom is there a chance you might have caught an infection, they can often cause bleeding between or very heavy periods.
Avatar f tn I used emergency birth control pills Contraceptive HD (OVOCEPT - HD). I used 2 pills within 24 hours after sex and 12 hours later used 2 pills again. I wanted to know when I will become period? and in emergency way that is just this 2 times? I am really worried please answer me.
1552510 tn?1294194411 t wan to get pregnant, then you need to start using birth control of some sort. That tissue that was dime sized may have been a miscarriage. You are playing with fire when it comes to unprotected sex, so starting using protection.
1703515 tn?1350500231 Hi there, Usually a woman will experience her period during the one-week break and bleeding may still be there when it is time to put on another patch. This is quite normal. Bleeding between your periods and spotting is common with birth control patch. Bleeding while on the patch should be discussed with your doctor. A clinical evaluation may be necessary. Keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn hey mommas. im 7wks post partum and started my birth control pills 2 1/2wks ago. according to the pills im not due for a period to start until another week (give or take a day). but today i had brownish bleeding like the start of a normal period and been hormonal and crampy the last few days. so im guessing my period is starting despite what the pills say. will i have two periods? one really long period? is this common or not?
Avatar f tn Hello, This irregular bleeding can be due to many causes. In your case it seems that it is due to taking birth control pills irregularly. This can cause irregular spotting and bleeding. Other causes of irregular periods are hormonal imbalances, ovulation dysfunction etc. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. For more queries and assistance visit a gynecologist. I sincerely hope it helps. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn just spotting but for about a year prior leading up to meno my periods where all over the place..I could go 8 weeks between periods or 2 days and anything in between.
Avatar m tn Well it could mean you are PG. Or spotting and bleeding between periods is common. Even IF you NEVER have had it happen before. Stress, weight gain, different diet excersise can all mess up your cycle. OR for NO reason at all. I'd say take a test. Go from there.
