I alread posted a little bit about this in
the birth control forum, but it's
escalating so i'll post here. I've been
trying to research online and have really
found nothing that seems to fit my
particular situation. Here goes:
i was on depo. I bled for 8 straight
months. Said to hell with it and got off
the depo. I didn't really experience any
side effects of getting on depo, so didn't
expect any coming off of it, either. I
was supposed to get my next shot sometime
between jan 13-23 (i think) and didn't.
I got my first "period" on january 29th
and it lasted until february 9th (12
days). I didn't have my period for a day
and a half, and then got it again. This
one lasted from february 11th through the
19th (8 days). Then I didn't bleed for 5
days and started again just on friday
(2/24) and i'm still bleeding for who
knows how long. I've always had erratic
periods, but never this bad. I would
bleed for approximately 2 weeks, be off
for 2 weeks, then bleed again for another
week, etc.
Now to add to the problem i'm experiencing
tenderness down the sides of my breasts,
and they're fuller. I've noticed this
for approximately 2.5 to 3 weeks now.
I'm fairly sure i"m not pregnant, unless I
had sex in a drunken state and don't
remember it!!!!
So could the change in homones be causing
all of this? And if so, why didn't I
experience any symptoms when I got *on*
the birth control?
One of my friends suggested cutting out
caffeine (virtually impossible for me as a
divorced mother of a 3 year old working
full time and going to school full time!)
so I researched that. Sounds like it
could maybe help but I want to know what's
wrong with me!!

Lord..I have no idea...I think you should
go to a doctor with that one...Maybe you
need to be put on a different kind of
birth control..There could be many things
causing it ...So I seriously think your
best bet would be to see a doctor...

Honey I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaant to go to the
doctor, but the problem is I can't stop
bleeding long enough to make it there!!!
I've had to suffer the mortification of
having an "exam" while on my period once,
when I was 17. They gave me no choice.
They made me have one. Lol i've always
had problems, but certainly not like this.
I wish I was psychic and could tell when
I *can* go to the doctor!

bubble be, also when I was pregnat 4

well maybe you should just go ..While
bleeding ...Which I know isnt the most
comfortable thing..I had to do it a couple
of weeks ago..For my paps...But im sure
the doctor has been through it
before..Probably worse...So just talk to
the doctor maybe you can tell them that
your not comfortable with showing at the
moment because the bleeding and they might
do urine test or blood test...You never
know :wink:

I would. But I don't think a blood or
urine test is going to help at all.

My mother had a similar problem.....They
ended up finding tons of various sized
cysts on her ovaries so she opted to have
a hystorectomy without bothering to check
to see if any were cancerous because it
runs in the family. I would definately
consult a doc cuz ya never know if it
might be something that neeeds to be
caught early! Good luck
