menstrual period extremely heavy - on on birth control Posted: 03-15-08 18:33pm
Im 23yrs old and a month a ago i started
the pill because i had been menstrating
for 6 months straight. The pill stopped my
period and when i started my 7 remind
pills of the first pack i started my
period as I should, only now my period has
become extemely heavy. I've started my new
pack of pills and to date have had 4 of
the active pills, shouldnt my period be
slowing down by now? it only seems to get
heavier with each day, Im also in
anti-coagulants, could my heavy period be
caused from my blood being too thin?

Why were you menstruating for 6 months? Do
you have some kind of condition?
Yes, the pills should be slowing down your
period, but your case is unique and needs
to be assessed by a doc!

Pills should be making your period lighter
and shorter. I would talk to your doctor
and see whats up.
