Today, I figured out how my birth control works. If you're on your period for four months straight you can't have sex, so you won't be pregnant. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, thanks to a new form of birth control, I've now been having my period non-stop for six weeks. FML
Today, I found out that after using several types of birth control, and being paranoid about pregnancy, I've been infertile for years. FML
Today, after my wife and I have been trying for a baby for 2 years, I found out she's still on the pill. Apparently when she was a teen she had bad period cramps, so her doctor gave her the pill for the pain. She never realized it stops pregnancy. FML
Today, I realized that without my birth control pills, I would have no idea what day it is. FML
Today, I’ve had an irregular period my whole life. I was on birth control and took out my IUD in January. I’ve had my period ever since. It’s going on 5 months now. FML
Today, I found out that morning after pills don't work if you're already ovulating. I also found out that I might become a father wayyyy sooner than expected. FML
Today, I found out that I'm going to be a mother. This was a mystery, since I take birth control and use condoms all the time. Or, at least, it was, until my mother admitted to swapping my pills and poking holes in my condoms so she could have a grandchild before she died. FML
Today, I went to the health department to get on some birth control. I left the health department without birth control, and with the news that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I was told that since I've had only three or four periods since 2013, there's 60 periods worth of blood clotted in my uterus. They gave me medicine to make it all come out in one week. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that my girlfriend lied about being on the pill four months ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should really go to a specialist for this, it could be a serious problem down the line.

I take it you started depo. That really sucks. Only way for it to stop is to stop the shots and go on IUD or the pill or patch. Depo is horrible. Esp if you TTC later down the line.

Definitely the Depo shot. I had my period for two months straight, then it stopped for a few months, then I started to spot off and on for a little bit, but after a year of it I stopped completely. Maybe that'll happen with you, but I would advise to see a physician for it. Oh, and you'll also cramp between periods or not even having your period at all. It really, really sucks but is great birth control.

The OP could be sensitive to hormone based contraceptives, especially if this isn't the first that has sent her period awry. I myself don't deal well with hormone based contraceptives and I tried them all. Pill, injection, implant and all sent me wacky. My advice would be to try something that doesn't rely on artificial oestrogen.

You have been on your period for four months? Not normal. You need to go to your doctor ASAP. the maximum a period should last should be 7 days. Hope everything turns out ok for you.
