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 had that but it was very small amounts and called spotting. But if it's a full on period, OP, see a doctor about it.

Jesus! That's when you stop taking your bc, use condoms, and definitely talk to your doctor! That's just not healthy or normal :/

There are other form of birth control. Like another person said, the shot being one of them. Then there is the rod (implanon) and the mirena. You can't just stop taking them. All of those will cause period-like bleeding for up to, but not limited to 14 weeks. Just saying. It all depends on what she is on.

It's hard to trust something that bleeds for six weeks and doesn't die.

Did it ever dawn on you to go see a doctor and quit bitching?
