Avatar n tn It is common to have irregular vaginal bleeding or breakthrough bleeding while on Levlen between your periods. Irregular vaginal bleeding may stop after your body has adjusted to LEVLEN which may be after about 3 cycles.Brevicon can also cause breakthrough bleeding. Illness, medication, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, stress or rapid variations in weight, disorders affecting the thyroid gland all can lead to irregular menstrual cycles. Take a balanced diet and a healthy meal.

Avatar f tn Did u have irregular bleeding before starting birth control? Any bleeding in between periods?
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 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?
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.

Depending on your detailed symptoms and medical history your doctor may recommend a pelvic examination and other tests .Only after a detailed clinical evaluation the cause can be determined.

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 have never missed a period and have never been pregnant. I have been married for 4 years and am not on any kind of birth control. My last period started on Mar 12 and since Wed, April 1 I have been spotting brown "stuff." I don't usually see it until I go to wipe myself after using the bathroom. I am not due for my period for another 2 weeks. I did go to the Dr. today and she told me that it's not really a big concern and the urine sample came back (-) for pregnancy.
Avatar f tn When I had irregular periods I went on the birth control pill long enough to straighten out my periods.
Avatar m tn Hello, My doctor is on maternity leave, and I'm not able to go to a walk-in clinic for a couple of days; your response will be greatly appreciated! I've been using Evra birth control patch for exactly a year, and have experienced early bleeding/spotting before taking off my 3rd patch. Normally, the bleeding would start 2-3 days before my patch-free week. I would not take the patch off early,however, and will still take it off on the same day despite the early bleeding.
