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 feel your pain OP. I've been on Birth Control for almost 2 years now, and my cycle STILL hasn't totally sorted. I have random spotting that lasts weeks, major heavy periods and sometimes bleeding that lasts a month. Talked to my doctor about it, and she's convinced it's not doing me any harm (Although I'm already severely anaemic and I suppose it's not helping!) and so she says I shouldn't switch pills. I would suggest that you give it time to sort itself out, and if it doesn't then perhaps try and switch birth controls. You have to give each a chance to work, you can't just swap about as you please, but if it's not working for you, it's not working. Good luck!

I had this same random spotting issue and my doctor said it was because my pill wasn't strong enough, and it actually hadn't been working correctly for the few months that I was taking it. It should defiantly be normal after 2 years.

Hm.. After 2 years and still your gp is not listening to you? I would get a second opinion.. Same happen to me, but I changed it after 6 weeks, and no problem since.

Yeah I might go back and ask for a second opinion. It's slowed down recently a little but, still having the problems. I mean, bleeding for a week each month is bad enough, but bleeding ALL the time really, really sucks.

I have had my period for 32 days now non-stop due to the depo birth control shot! So I know exactly what you're going through.

Read more about it it may cause u this horrible crap now but may cease em or shorten them in the long run may be worth it do your research!

I've heard of spotting for that long on starting different types of birth control, but that seems like a medical concern you need to address.

Well it's working, right? No guy is going near that thing.

I hope you have already seen a doctor in these six weeks... some extra days should already be enough to notice that something's wrong. I feel sorry for you, I'd be freaking out like hell in your place. I hope you come through this hormonal mess ;)
