Here's my bcp history in a nutshell...
Started on orthotricyclen 4 years ago when
I was 18. Did well with it, no problems.
Took it for about 2 1/2 years.
My obgyn wanted me to try ortho lo when it
came out. The whole year I was on it I
would always bleed during sex if the sex
took place the week before my period. I
finally told my obgyn about it and he
switched me back to trinessa (generic of
orthotricyclen).
In april of this year I asked him to
switch me because I was becoming really
depressed and crying easily and thought it
could be due to the pill. He put me on
yasmin. I took it for the months of may
and june. In june my "problem" came back
and I bled during sex a week before my
period.
I didn't want to deal with that bleeding
again so I started taking trinessa again
in july. Had sex july 4th, everything
was fine. Period came july 19-24 like it
should've...Had sex the 29th, it was
fine....2 days later spotted a little bit
for a day (figured it was breakthrough
bleeding since it's only my 2nd month of
being on trinessa again). Then I had sex
last night and I bled during it. Went to
the bathroom and wiped, the bleeding then
stopped.
I went to my doctor today. He seems to
still think it is hormone related. He
told me to take one more month of trinessa
and see what happens next month. I'm
really just terrified it is something like
cervical cancer even though my last pap
smear in oct. Was normal. The obgyn
says if it was cervix related the blood
would be brown and it would start right
after sex. It does start during sex but
it's usually red or pink in color.
Please someone, anyone, help me understand
why this is happening to me.
