Ouch

Okay, ditch what I said earlier about little pain and light flow. Today is an exception. Pain rivals a good month -- Aleve isn't quite doing it -- and I've never seen flow like this. The flow is seriously impressive. If it didn't hurt, my reaction would be COOL! because I get like that with gross icky things.

I think my body is reminding me that it is boss, that resistance is futile, and that there is no escape.

Ceej, are you on the low dose or regular dose of bc pills? I had breakthrough bleeding and menstrual symtpons on the low dose which were cleared up by switching to the regular dose pills...

*Hugs*!

Ooo, good information, thanks. I'm on a regular dose. If "breakthrough bleeding" means periods heavier than you've ever had, then yes, that's EXACTLY what I've got. Maybe I can switch to a more sturdy dose.

Uh, no that's NOT what "breakthrough bleeding" means. Hmm, I don't know if there *is* a sturdier dose of bc pills. Are you taking them every day religiously? Sometimes I get bleeding when I forget a day. In fact, I forgot my prescription when we went on vacation and had to use another week of the lighter dose pills (that I had in my purse). So now I do have breakthrough bleeding and probably will for another week.

Here's hoping they find something that works for you!

Yeah, I didn't think so either! (grump.)

I wouldn't be surprised. Some women have really weird hormonal situations. Heck, if there isn't a sturdier dose, I'm not too proud to take two. :-)

I did forget one day, and took the forgotten one as quickly as I realized. That was probably the trigger for the two to three gusher-fountain days. But I was already bleeding by then, and am still now, so I'll cross my fingers for a bigger hammer to hit it with.

Are you on a continuous regime, or do you suspend a week for a "normal period"?

Here's hoping they find something that works for you!

Me toooooo! Thanks!!
