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.

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!!
