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

Tell your doctor, already!! That's ridiculous, and expensive!! I dealt with that before, for 5 months before I just said "**** it" and went to the gyno. Make them put you on Ortho Novum, or something.

There's no law saying that since those drugs were prescribed to you, they are the only ones you can take. Often people cannot tolerate their drugs, and they call the clinic. Ask for "name of doctor's" nurse. Tell him/her what's been going on. She will tell you to stop them and then make an appointment, or have you come in to the walk-in clinic. Then you can get drugs that will work for you. You need to remember that you are the one who takes control of your health. You know your body. You have to communicate to the doctors about what's going on. They are there to help. They are not your parents who you have to obey. Work with them.

Only 6 weeks? I took two doses of DeproVera and was on mine for 2 YEARS!!! I took the second because I was promised after the 2nd my period would stop.

If she is on the shot then she can't just stop taking it? It's in your system for 3 months with just having one shot! The doctor can't just magically make your period stop.. It will stop on it's own. I had the shot almost 3 months ago and have been on my period for over a month. You can't die from bleeding that long.. Duh!

I got Mirena and had my period for almost a month. It was dreadful. What the doctor told me to do was take birth control pills for a week (the first week in the pack, they're strongest) and it worked! My period straightened itself out. I'd obviously recommend a visit to the doctor, but mention this method and see what he/she says. Good luck honey, I wish you all the best!

HAHAHA this happened to me! Mini pill, right? I had my period for about 2/3 months non stop. But I don't get any periods now! :D
