Heavy

Hi ladies,

I have always had obnoxious periods, but last year it was getting to the point where I would constantly have cramps.  I had an ultrasound done & it turned out I had 45 cysts on my ovaries (20 on one, 25 on the other).  Since then, I have switched from regular BCP to continous (skip the placebos & just keep taking the pills).  So in theory, I would no longer get my period.  However, I got my period in December around when my grandfather died.  Due to the nature, I thought it was brought on mainly by stress.  Well, it's February & I have my period again.
--Now let me say when I was getting my period, it was light & lasted for maybe 5 days max.--
NOW however (and during my period in December) my period is EXTREMELY heavy with clumps of blood & everything.  Also, I have awful cramps (not unusual) but the big thing is my period in December lasted 9 days.  I'm on day 6 of my current period.  What is going on with my body?!  If anyone has any suggestions, please, PLEASE send them my way.

Thanks!  Peace & love <3

45 cysts?! Jeebus. O_o
I say you should go see a gyno if you're definitely not supposed to be getting your period.

She says some girls get it every 3 months even on continuous bcp, but I haven't talked to her yet about it being so heavy; hopefully I will be able to get in with her in the next week or so.

are you still taking your hbc? (which brand/type?) sometimes your body just wants to bleed - you might want to stop taking your pill for 7 days - it might "reset" your cycles.

however it's definitely something to discuss with your doctor: s/he might want to check that your cysts havent returned

I just had an ultrasound last month & I was cyst free. I stopped my bc for 4 days which my gyn told me to do. It's just my period is so unusually heavy. Thanks for all your help!

oh good to know! :)

it might be heavy because you stopped the bc?

you might want to consider asking [info]birthcontrol

its probably heavier because you haven't bled in awhile. . .

It could be heavy because of not having it for a while, but it might still be a good idea to at least call your gyno to see what she thinks. If anything, it would help with peace of mind.
