I have posted to 2 different forums, and have not gotten any reply's. So I am going to copy it here. SORRY IT'S SO LONG!!!


I have been on birth control for around 2 years now, and on yasmin for the past year. I have been depressed a lot, but until reading what a lot of women on this sight have been saying I had not put the two together....just assumed that I was depressed. My period has always been very regular, and since being on birth control is very light and usually only lasts about 3 to 5 days. Last month I started 4 days before I should have, and my period was much heavier than normal and lasted for 14 days...I was concerned of course, and began to feel very tired and dizzy. I called my doctor and she said that it was nothing to be concerned about and to wait and see what happened the next month. Of course her telling me that it was nothing to worry about didn't make me any less worried! If my period is correspondent with last months (the one that was messed up) will start tomorrow, and if consistent with my normal cycle some time next week. I am concerned as to what could have caused this, even before being on the pill my period was never more than 6 or maybe 7 days at the most. I am 22 years old and have been in a committed relationship for nearly 5 and a half years now, and never been with anyone else. I am just very concerned. I have read that this could be symptoms of a miscarriage, but have not missed any pills. I know that you can still get pregnant on the pill, but it is not very likely. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance
