Long haul
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 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

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

I've had even enough
Today, I started my period. Unfortunately, my last period only ended six days ago. PCOS sucks. FML

Today, exactly 28 days after I started my last period, I started a new period. This would be perfectly healthy and normal except that my last period was 24 days long. This has happened every month this year. 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

Go deep
Today, it's been one week since I went to get my birth control renewed. It also marks 16 days until I get the half that broke off in my uterus removed. FML

Make it stop
Today, I went to the doctor because I have been getting my period every week and a half and they are ridiculously heavy. He then spent the entire time discussing painkillers (I'm allergic to most) and when I asked to be put on birth control, he said I'd need another appointment for that. FML

Today, I realized that without fail, even if I'm not supposed to get it, I get my period just in time for vacations. FML

Go with the flow (haha, get it?) But no, that is seriously awful.

A lot of types of birth control do that. Maybe you should have done your research.

I'm a pharmacist -- this is sort of repeating what's already been said, but bleeding is a sign of too little estrogen. Increasing to a BC with more estrogen may be helpful. :)

I've been on the deposhot since last December. One of the side effects is spotting but its supposed to stop after a couple of months. Since I've gotten the first shot I've been bleeding non stop. I stayed on it for so long because I hoped my bleeding would eventually stop. But now I'm anemic and I'm switching to the pill.

Hey OP this is normal (if you're taking the pill and changing pills). All you have to do is take a course of your sugars and have a real period then go back on to your actives. Your body just needs a hormone break and to have a real period. Right now you'd be breakthrough bleeding. I'm assuming you're on the pill, though. That's pretty much what happened to me!

And that's why I don't take birth control anymore. All of the new ones started doing that to me and my dr said that it's normal. Um no!! So I stopped taking birth control. It's all unneeded extra hormones which isn't good for you anyway

That happened to me with the Nuva Ring. You need to stop what you're taking and talk to the dr about other options.
