Heavy Period After Fourth Week On The Pill
UpdatedI started taking cyclessa three and a half weeks ago, I am on the fourth week now. I missed one pill about two weeks ago and had sex that night, but used plan b the next morning. I then continued with the pill as normal the next day and took the one I missed as well. I began spotting lightly about a week ago, continued my pills, and started bleeding heavily about four days ago. I missed my pill yesterday and am taking it today with my pill for today. I have been very sexually active during this whole time.
I guess I just want to know that this extremely heavy period is normal for my situation? I'm a very paranoid person and want to be sure that I'm not having a miscarriage or something serious. I also have a doctors appointment in two days to be checked out. Any informational and detailed feedback would be great!

The heavier bleeding is most likely due to your having taken the Plan B, it has been known to cause that in some people that use it, I've experienced it myself from taking it.
Learn more emergency contraception details here.
It is a heavy dose of hormones that is intended to help prevent pregnancy on occasion just like yours, but the heavier dose of hormones can throw your body off and you were basically doubling up on the side effect, since you also started a regular hormonal contraceptive the same month.
As a matter of fact, the last time I used it, because though we are careful, I just wanted that added reassurance, since neither of us likes kids, I experienced heavier bleeding for the next two months in a row and my doctor told me that it may also happen this month, as well.
Can you post back and let us know what your doctor says?
