Heavy Period

Ok so my period usually last 5 days I started my period Tues and I wanted to stop it so I took the blue sprintec pill and now my period still on and heavy I never been on any type of birth control what should I do now to stop it ## Hello, Marie! How are you? Unless your doctor has some other solution, you'll most likely just have to let it runs its course, so it stops on its own. One oral contraceptive tablet isn't enough to stop it, to help control your cycle, they need to be taken regularly. By taking one, you've thrown off your hormonal balance, so your period may be remain heavier and last a little longer than usual. The FDA lists possible side effects as including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight gain, irritability and break through bleeding. If you want more control...

I was diagnosed with a blood clot in my leg after foot surgery a couple weeks, i am on Eliquis. I started my period 24 hours ago and it is so heavy with tons of huge clots that it's making me really nervous. I have had so many "accidents" in less than 24 hours than i usually do in 6 cycles. I went through a thick heavy flow overnight pad in 4 hours. All through the night i had to get up and go to the bathroom every 45 minutes which didn't leave time for much sleep, I'm nervous to fall asleep for more than an hour or two at a time. Is this normal, I'm only 37. ## Yes, Eliquis can cause you to bleed more and experience more clots, during your menstrual cycle, according to FDA warnings. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, and headache. However, it is best to ...

Hi I'm a new birthcontrol pill user and I started my pills on a Sunday two days before I was scheduled to get my period . I did not know that you are supposed to start the pills after your period. Anyways I continued to take the pills and my period came at the end of the second week of pills which is a full week before the brown pills. My period has been really heavy and I have had bad cramps for three days. I wanted to know is this normal and also am I going to have another period when I get to the brown pills in a week because I really don't need two periods back to back . Help please ## Hello, Kim! How are you? I am very sorry about what you've experienced. Actually, you are supposed to start the pills the day you start your period and yes, irregular breakthrough bleeding...

I'm 36 years old, since last month my periods have been irregular. Spotting was there for 10 days only, then my Gyno prescribed me medicine so that I can get my regular period and she suggested a pelvic scan. I'm now done with my pelvic scan and I have a simple cyst in my Ovary, and now I'm suffering with heavy bleeding since the last 8 days. I also took 2 tablets of Pause 500mg, and two doses of Pause 1g. inj., but there is no effect and I'm still having heavy bleeding. What should I do now?

Hi. my periods are regular but for short span of time. it only last for 2or 3 days. first day is heavy bleeding and 2 day is quite less. I am worried. I am normal. I need a pill so that I can atleast my periods till 5 days. please hell me??? ## Hello, Honey! How are you? There is no reason to worry, not every woman gets a 5 day period and that doesn't mean that there's anything wrong. Some women get very short ones of only about 3 days, like yours and some women have one that last up to 10 days and all are considered normal. You shouldn't worry unless yours suddenly changes, either it gets longer, or you stop having one, or the bleeding is heavier or lighter than usual. If you're worried, you should consult a doctor, but the length of your period has no bearing on your f...

I started mono linyah 2 days before my cycle was due to start as my doctor told me to my cycle usually last 7 days I'm past my 7 days now and the bleeding is getting heavier and the cramps more painful. How long will my cycle be on? I'm on week 2 of my bc pack. ## Hello, Renay! How are you? Yes, that can happen, when you are new to taking oral contraceptives. As listed by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, headache, dizziness and weight changes. Since you started 2 days before your period was due, rather than the day your period started, you've likely thrown off your hormonal balance and it will likely take awhile for this to settle back down. However, if the cramping gets too severe and the bleeding too heavy, you should consult your doctor as this may not be the righ...

I've been taking Mono-linyah for about 2 months. I've been having extremely heavy periods and they stop for maybe 3 days and they are right back throughout the blue and white pills. Its to the point that I'm about to try something else. Normally my period lasts about 3 to 4 days and its gone. I've tried the Depo shot but had a bad problem with weight loss due to it. Is there any b/c pill that more or less stops your period? I know its natural but I'm a very active person working 6 days a week with how painful its been some days its hard to even be standing straight up ## Hello, Tamara! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems you're experiencing. Those types of issues can be normal for the first 3 months or so, of taking a new oral contraceptive, but wi...

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. Have you started taking it, yet? Has there been any change? ## Hey...I'm starting it tomorrow...So I'm hoping it helps me.. ## I have been taking it for about 3 years.

i had the jadelle put in about a few months ago my first period lasted for about 10 days, but this one has lasted me two weeks it was light in the middle but then got real heavy again, plus ive become a complete super b**** and, is it still settling? is it normal? ## Hello, Renee! How are you doing? I am very sorry about the problems that you're having. And yes, such side effects can be normal, while your body is adjusting to the hormones in the Jadelle. It may take a few months for things to balance back out and be more normal. However, if the bleeding gets heavier, it would be best to consult your doctor to be sure that all is well. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am 37 yrs old my doctor prescribed sprentec to help with my heavy periods due to endometriosis. How long should it take before I see results? I have been on my period for 5 days and it has not showed any signs of slowing? ## Hi, Misty! How long have you been taking the Tri Sprintec? If you just started it a few days ago, when you started your period, then it's far too soon for it to have an effect. You most likely won't see any changed until your next period. Usually, heavy periods are caused by a deficiency in Progesterone and that is very common with endometriosis, your age can also play a role, since anovulatory cycles usually start around age 35. Since this contraceptive contains both a form of estrogen and progesterone, it may help with your heavy bleeding. ## Hello I wen...

I started taking Mono linyah and on my second row of blue pills I started my period. My cramps are horrible, and tomorrow will make a week being on it and it's very heavy. I didn't even make it through the whole birth control prescription before starting my period. I didn't even make it to the sugar pills. Is this normal?! ## Hello, Kailee! How are you? Yes, that can be a normal side effect for the first 3 months, or so, while your body is getting used to this medication. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. However, if the bleeding becomes very heavy, or doesn't stop, after a few months, you should consult your doctor as this may not be the right medication for you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I started taking mono linyah ...

Hi i'm 17 years old and my period is so heavy and nothing helps. I was on birth control but I stopped. Is there any over the counter pills to help my heavy period? ## Hello, Muna143! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. Unfortunately no, there is nothing available over the counter that will help. Why did you stop the birth control? That's usually the treatment of choice for such a situation. It helps rebalance the hormones, so your periods are lighter, or you may not have any, at all. The FDA lists the typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight gain and PMS-like symptoms.

Is it normal to have blood clots during period while taking xarelto? ## Yes, your period may also be heavier and last longer than usual. However, if it gets severely heavy and/or continues for too long of a time period, you should seek medical attention.
