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

Definitely talk to your doctor! That can't be good.

Implannon? I had it inserted last year and had a period for 6 months before I decided to have it removed. I feel your pain...

actuallly, people, if you're switching pills you're supposed to give it a couple months to normalize. hormonal birth control messes with your system. I stuck it out for three months, bled moat days, then switched to an IUD... which is convenient but also a total pain the ass. I feel you, OP. definitely switch!

Try NOT being on birth control and bleeding for 2 months with clots the size of soft balls every 15 minutes every day! Then going ten more months still bleeding and having all sorts of tests done that show everything is NORMAL! Not all pills or shots will work for everyone. I had two depo shots within a month and I still bled. The myrena is shit for me, which has been in 3 months now and every doc I seen wont do anything for another 3 months. So before u go whining about the side effects of BC they all say it takes over a month to adapt to ur body! Could be like me with no cause at all!! No I wasn't on BC before it started and I'm healthy

Just because the dr. didn't find a cause for you doesn't mean there isn't one. Depending on everything your dr did you might want to consider seeing another one.

I've seen 5 different doctors and they all did tests and the results were the same. I do have common sense to go to different doctors thank u very much

I had that same thing.. I wasn't on birth control but bled to death daily with huge clots.. Soaking my pants like I was stabbed in the middle of stores.. Come to find I had hypothyroidism and it caused heavy bleeding and pollips that they only found with a small surgery called a D&C.. Ask your gyne to do one on you, they can scrape your uterine wall to make it stop then put you on a hormone controlling pill that will keep you from bleeding anymore.. It may not last for that was 4 years ago and I've had it again for the past 7 months.. But it maybe my implanon this time.. Sucks! I feel for you :(

Hate to hear that. Yaz did me that way. Take iron pills.

This same thing happened to me when I got an IUD. I had to have it removed. That may be an option for you.

I can't even imagine having my period for six weeks. What kind of birth control does that? I just had a baby and I'm about to have to get on birth control so I don't have another right away. You should probably switch what you're using.
