Last month my period ended and I started a new pack of pills (mind you this is the same birthcontrol I have been on for years, same brand and all) after a week of being off my period, it started back up and has been on ever since and this is week four and it is driving me crazy. I start another pack on Sunday but I really don't want to wait that long. Is it ok if I start the new pack early in hopes of turning my cycle off?
A little background information, I am 32 years old and I have been on the pill non-stop since I was 18 and this has never happened. My cycle is usually right on time. As far as sexual history I have not been active for over a year.
You seem to be having the symptoms of metrorrhagia(heavy periods).Various factors causing it are endometriosis,ectopic pregnancy,hormone imbalance,endometrial hyperplasia,polyps,use of IUD’s and depo shots, sexually transmitted diseases,PCOS and benign and malignant pathologies of the uterus.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
