menstrual-cycle
it happens to me all the time...i will go 3 months without getting my period and i'm not on birth control and i always get freaked out thinking i'm pregnant. i get cramps and abdomen pains too...
Personally from my experience with the iud I had no complications and I never got my menstrual cycle while being on it too! Once I decided to take the iud out I was pregnant within the month which normally never happens to people. The average person to get pregnant after the iud gets removed is approximately 2 or 3 months afterwards according to the doctor. However, everyone is different. Just something for you ladies to think about!
ve never been diagnosed so I tried birth control to help the cramps as my Gyno said it would. However, I put on 30 lbs in two months, was exhausted all the time, had constant muscle cramps as well as excruciating menstrual cramps but my Gyno said it was nothing. I then started to have migraines, which disabled me to the point of being able to do nothing except sleep for days. After jumping around from gyno to gyno, my mom figured I should go to an endocrinologist.
There are several reasons why you might experience a missed period while on birth control pill. There are few birth control pills which may stop your menses for a particular period. Pregnancy is also possible cause of missed periods if you have not been taking pills regularly have been affected by diarrhea, vomiting which may affect the absorption and efficacy of pills.
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.
cramping on both sides is normal but cramping on one side is normal also. Cramping on one side is usually due to a cyst on that ovary. It will also cause chronic pain and excessive bleeding. No worries tell your doctor and they will just prescribe you birth control to regulate it or if your like me and can't take birth control they may just issue you a strong pain reliever.
if you do it on graph paper with each menstrual month on one line, it comes out like a bar chart after a while to show you the normal lengths of your bleeding, when you ovulate, and when you have vaginal secretions of other kinds. That can be useful for projecting forward to see when your next period will probably come, and things like that.
Going on the pill can change the quantity of discharge, but it does not always do so.
I started having severe menstrual cramps and heavy bleeding after my second time having a period (at 11 yro). The heavy bleeding was caused by anemia, had to go on iron supplements which immediately helped. For the pain, I had to take birth control pills (though I wasn't sexually active). This helped for about 4 years, then the painful cramps came back but were not so severe. Everyone is different obviously, so I would suggest going to gynecologist.
hi. i have horrible, horrible menstrual cramps. because i also get very bad headaches, i do not tolerate the birth control pill. i don't know what to do. neither do my gynecologists. i have tried all of the main anti-inflammatories and even narcotics, but nothing seems to work. there is nothing wrong with my reproductive system or anything, i just get horrible, horrible cramps.
Hi Kay, Here is something you may find intresting Tri-Sprintec contains female hormones and therefore alters your female gynecological symptoms. Tri-Sprintec typically causes nausea, bloating, stomach cramps, breast pain, vaginal discharge, menstrual irregularities and changes in your appetite and weight. Tri-Sprintec can affect your appearance and cause increased hair growth, loss of hair or freckling of your skin. It can cause nervousness, a headache and fatigue.
I would also assume that it is a stronger birth control in a way because, unlike the pill, it stops your menstrual cycle completely until you come off of it. And even then your period will not be normal for a little while.
Does anxiety run in your family?
Or have you experienced anxiety before this particular incident?
I too have had spotting recently which has never happened before. I actually though I was starting my period and It stopped. I am wondering why I got this. I still haven't got my period yet and it's been a week since the spotting. I'm not on birth control nor have I been for a while. I did take a pregenancy test 1 week before the spotting due to cramps and it was negative. Is this normal?
Hello! I'm a 22 year-old female. My sister is diagnosed with PCOS, and I was just thinking about some symptoms/issues that I have and realized they match up with some of hers. I know that someone with PCOS is more likely to have a mom or sister with it as well.
