A while back my doctor put me on the pill to help me get my hormones regulated. Well i took them like i was supposed to, and i had my period when i came to the white pills.. but i blead crazy badly. I had to change my tampons AND pads every hour. I dont know if every pill will have me do this, but like, I have an appointment with my gyno on friday and i'm just wondering what i should ask her about. Any tips or anwers?

no every pill will not do that ... most pills will make ur period lighter .. you just have to find the right one for u . if u have been on the pill for 3 months (which is about the time it takes ur body to get used to it ) i would reccommend switching pills.

An unusually light or heavy period is common when you first start the pill, though most of the time it will lighten up within time.

However, if you were bleeding that much, you need to see the doc because you were losing too much blood!! A heavy period is ok.... Niagara falls isn't!!

yea, it was niagra falls:S
I took the pills for 2 months and then stopped because i couldn't take the constant weirded out feeling i had whenever i'd go to the bathroom every five seconds. I need to find my kind of pill, becasue its also so nerve raking to miss a period. Or only have 2 a year like me, which angers me off. I just want to be normal x.x

Between that and getting your period late, you sound like you are having a birth control nightmare.

Good luck. The doc should be able to help you find a pill that regulates periods better without Niagara falls. And without missing your periods. Lol--

You need to sit back and take a deep breath, girl.

Good luck on your interview.
