Sooo..I am a 18 year old, sexualy active
female who is on birth control. I have
been bleeding for this whole month, even
though it is WELL pass the time when my
period shoud have gone off...I have been
passing clots, and tissue, and the blood
is waaaaaaaay darker than my normal
period. Recently it has dwindled down, but
unfortunately, i am still cramping a
little, and now I only really bleed if I
have an orgasm....Does ANYONE know whatz
going on?

Mmmm. If you have taken your bc correctly
then you shouldnt be pregnant, but it
could be a possibility. So maybe
miscarriage.
Are you still steadily bleeding? If so
how many tampons or pads do you fill each
hour? Is this a new form of birth control?
How long have you used this birth control?
I bled for a whole month after I got off
of the depo shot and lots of women have
abnormal bleeding when they start or
finish b/c.
I think the only reasons you should be
bleeding like this is due to a
miscarriage, new b/c, or right after a
baby. I could be wrong but I think you
should call your doc and ask if you should
come in. You can never be too careful. If
it was a miscarriage then I think the docs
have to watch you closely. Again I am not
too sure...Your best bet would be to ask a
professional
Any vaginal bleeding outside the period is
called metrorrhagia. Generally, reasons
for metrorrhagia can be functional and
organic. Functional metrorrhagia is due to
hormonal disbalance. Sometimes such
disbalance can be caused by the birth
control pills. Organic reasons for
metrorrhagia can be infection, tumors
(benign or malignant), endometriosis,
miscarriage, injuries, foreign bodies etc.
You can consult your gynecologist about
this.

Well, actually, this all started after My
most recent period, I started it, and it
never stopped...Prior to that, I had to
pause on my birth control for a month, cuz
my doctor put it in late, so my mom told
me to wait so I could start it again on
the day I wouda started the next pack. wen
I finished with that pack angot my period,
it was THE WORST perid I ever had...I
could hardly walk, I was getting really
hot....I was sick to my stomach.....the
blood was close to the color black....and
now I am still bleeding,but its more when
I have an orgasm...

Then I would say its probably directly
related to your birth control. The laspe
of time between your packs could have
thrown off your cycle and your body is
still trying to get back to normal. If you
are still worried then see your doc. I
bled for a whole month but I knew that the
depo would mess me up and eventually the
bleeding stopped. Just keep an eye on your
discharge and the amount of blood you are
losing. If it keeps going and you see no
signs of it stopping or slowing down then
see your doc.
Hope it stops soon though ....i know how
awful that can be. Also after the depo I
had very very bad cramps. So the increase
in period paid could also be from the
birth control

I would almost definitely go and talk to
your doctor about it. It sounds painful
and not fun. They should be able to
pinpoint what is going on and help you
find a solution to slow and/or stop the
bleeding.
