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

I hate my period..... I'd hate to have it over and over again. But sorry , try different birth control, and yes be safe

Sounds like an IUD. You can't just "try a new form" because it's implanted in your uterus until your Dr removes it. OP if you can get through this, it gets better usually! I've been there before....

A normal human being would have figured out something was wrong and gone to the doctor by now. YDI

actually, it's pretty common. in the paperwork they say "irregular bleeding may occur" which means you can bleed like a stuck pig for months. my doc didn't even give a damn and didn't tell me that could happen. they just want you to wait it out. i went on the pill, but changed my mind after a week, which caused me to bleed for months. i later found out that being on the pill for just a week sent my hormones outta wack. stop being a dumbass and assuming things.

I was on 7 different kinds of birth control before I found one that worked for me. Spotting is normal while your body gets used to the hormones, but excessive full period bleeding is not. It is extremely dangerous and can lead to anemia and other conditions. I had one that had me going in for weekly blood tests because I lost so much and it threw my body so out of whack. If you had a doctor that cared even the slightest bit they'd get you off that shit and on to something that actually works.

This happened to me when I was 17. Every time I would tell my Gynecologist she would feed me a line about how it "normal to spot". But I wasn't spotting and she wouldn't believe me! Finally I went to a regular doctor because my parents were concerned about me. First came the anemia. The anemia triggered fatigue. And the fatigue caused depression. Now, I take iron and estrogen pills to counteract it. I'm one wrong move away from a hysterectomy. On the plus side, it never made me gain weight. I guess I should be positive about that, Lol.

Are you on the depo shot? If so that's normal. It will be like that for three months. Your body is just getting used to it. Hang in there !

See your Dr and ask them to prescribe you Primulot. It's a med that stops the bleeding so you can let the IUCD settle in. Increase the dose of Primulot for heavier bleeding.
