What's Happening Now
On the 27th, I went to the doctor's. I started a new pill pack. I got my period that day. It's been very light. But, it's now May 7th and I STILL have my period! I'm not cramping anymore, but this is abnormal. It's been 10+ days and I still have it. My period is usually no more than 3 days.
What's going on? Is my body readjusting to the birth control?View Thread
5 years ago, month by month, it got worse and worse. My lower abdomen began to swell, and it felt as though someone was stabbing me on each side near my hip bones. I had a pelvic exam, and even the doctor felt something there. So I paid for an ultrasound to check for ovarian cancer, only to find out that they neglected to send it to my doctor, and refused to give me the results.
Symptoms have been compared to endometriosis, but not quite:
* Pain so severe, I can no longer control my legs
* Lower back feels like it's in a vise.
* Hip and leg muscle spasms to the point of never having to work them out. They are always taut and sore.
* Pain and bleeding after intercourse (with a condom).
I'm at my wit's end here, I can barely function as a human being. I suffer from "major depression" and anxiety because I can't control my own body anymore. I go into shock from the pain, and end up hating myself for going into shock and shaking when I try to buy groceries or even work. I would never wish this kind of suffering on my worst enemy. I just need to find an answer so I can start to live again... Please keep in mind that I'm working minimum wage with no insurance because I got terminated for trying to fix this.View Thread
This is the only time this has happened to me. Is this something to get be concerned about? I hate to make an appt. with my ob/gyn and take up her time if it's a relatively normal thing. Any opinions? Thanks.View Thread

The only other thing I can think of that might be affecting it would be the addition of sexual intercourse to my life in the last couple months. There has not been any pain before, during, or afterwards, so I can't see how that would be affecting my period.
The reason I am asking on here is because 1) I'm a broke college student 2) I don't have any health insurance and 3) The University Health Clinic costs much more than I can afford.
Again, PLEASE HELP ME.View Thread
straight weeks and my OB did not have an answer for why this was. My husband said to get back on the pill & it took several weeks for it to stop but I still had slight bleed through anyways. I take BCP for three months then stop for a period. I now just started my period and am feeling anxious about what this period will be like. I don't understand why the medical community cannot tell us why we are bleeding for so long? Any answers anyone?View ThreadSee Related Women's Health Communities
