Well, I am having irregular bleeding.and I had a D&C two years ago, i am going to the dr and ask him to put me on some sort of birth control....
Maybe your pill is too strong? These days i have a period every 2 weeks...I hope it dont get so far as a hysterectomy...let me know what they say

How long have you been on that particular brand?

It could just be that the dosage is not right for you and different OC would suit you better.

I have been on this brand from 16-21 21-22 I did Depo (NEVER DO DEPO!!!) 23-now same brand.

But how many months have you been taking this brand again?

When I switched pills it took me almost 6 months to stabilize.

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Over 12 months close too 16 months I think never had a problem with it.

Hmmmm....and you didn't have these problems before?

Is your body different than before? (besides being older, lol) I mean, bodyfat, muscle amount...etc.... body size/comp can affect how the pill is metabolized. How about activity level? Has it changed since before?

You might just have to switch pills, like someone else mentioned. Your body NOW might be so different than BEFORE that this pill no longer is for you. Make sense?

Hope you get it figured out....I know that sucks....

(maybe it would help if you came home at a reasonable hour on the weekends.... )

LOL yes Mama... My body fat has gone down a far bit over that past few months could this be affecting it? Lifting a lot more and heavier than I ever have. Last month when it happend I thought it was just the trip to the gyno and the pap that brought it on early now it has happend again. Normally like clock work it is every 22 days.

I know they are coming out with research that shows that the BCP is not as effective in heavier women (with high BMIs). It gets metabolized more quickly, the hormones aren't enough for the extra weight. That could even be the case for you....since you have more muscle, your metabolism is higher.....muscle is more metabolically active, maybe your body is processing the pill faster???? (I'm talking off the top of my head here...remember I have no medical training...lol)

Regardless, I would talk with your Dr. Explain your cycle, and see what s/he recommends. You might just need a stronger, or weaker, pill.

Good news may have just been spoting in the clear today!
