Women's Health - December 2006

FACTS:
*i am in my 9th pack of birth control.
*i used to be extremely regular before.
*my doctor told me i will be irregular while my body adjusts to the pill, and i might miss periods or get some that last a little longer.
*i had been having periods lasted 3 to 4 days
*last time i skipped one period, and now i started this period a week early and have been bleeding since.
***i am on the 13th day of bleeding, and it has not stopped yet!!!

this is very annoying and worries me a lot!!!

QUESTION:
have you experienced this before?
is this ok, should i let it go?
should i get off the pill?
(can i really store that much blood there.....?)

Some of you are going to be immature enough to make fun of me, but this is a very serious matter. I am wondering if anyone has had or know of anyone with this problem:

I have been gaining weight like crazy. When I first realized this, it was about a year ago...and I had gained about 5 lbs in a couple of weeks. That was shocking to me, but not too tramatic. I decided to excercise a little more, adding 15 more mins to my walking per day, and 15 mins to my cardio 3 times a week. Nothing...as a matter of fact, I gained more weight. My diet never changed for the worse. I did not eat anymore nor did I eat anything unhealthy. BUT, I decided to cut the carbs almost completely and increased cardio by 5 more mins 3 times per week, leaving my walking the same. Still I gained. I thought I was pregnant...(missed my cycle), and wasn't. I have continued to gain. I have gained a LOT in the last yr, and 35 lbs since Sept in spite of a healthy diet and regular excercise. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? HELP!!

thanks so much for your answer. However she has not had it cut. It fills and drains on its own, so this tissue appeared on its own after the last drainage. If you could provide any more info I'd be so grateful since you work with a dr who deals with this directly. She says the cyst after draining becomes soft and mushy but this time there is this small thread of tissue. I guess my biggest worry due to my anxiey issues is cancer. Help ease my mind please and thank you.

I'm in the NYC metro area, but I wonder if it's worth the trouble of going somewhere else (Calif.) to get a better price. Any advice on how to find a good doc?

mom has a bartholin gland cyst that has fills and drains over the last 7 years. Sometimes with months assymptomatic. this last drainage left a pink thread like piece of tissue hanging from the drained cyst. she is seeing a dr next week but I'm worried. Anyone ever heard anything like this? Could it be a piece of the cyst sac? I suffer from severe anxiety and this is throwing me over the edge.

Every few months I will go to bed like normal but sometime early morning I wake up with the feeling that the worst thing has happened I don't no what it is and I can't explain but i'm scared and its like i'm in a trance half asleep and the worst feeling imaginable follows me around. Then I will turn on the TV or walk around and I snap out of it. I do deal with alot of anxiety but am not on any meds for it at the moment, is this just a panic attack?

I'm currenty on Cyclessa and i love the way my period is every month..it comes exactly the same time (to the day) and its light (lasts from tuesday to friday). I might be switching brands and possibly going to be using Levora. Will this switch effect my period in a bad way where it will be starting at different days and/or be heavier or longer? Is there a difference between switching from a desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol pill to Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel pill? Or is there any difference between the two at all? Anyone had experience on Levora? Or experience with period changes when switching brands of birth control? Should I stick to Cyclessa? Only reason for the change is an insurance one..the Cyclessa will be a little more expensive than the Levora..(Cyclessa is $45 for 3month supply and Levora is $30 for 3 month supply)..Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am currently on birth control and I am not supposed to be getting my period til the end of next week, that is when my pills finish, what does this mean? Why did I get my period if I am still taking birth control?

I usually have quite regular and normal periods. I have had stress and life changes before, but those times my period stopped completely. Once for four months. But now I'm so confused because it's lasting so long. The last time I had sex was the first weekend of November. I started my period a week and a half later. Started off as just spotting, which I feared I was pregnant. Slowly it came on a little heavier, but now it's light and going on nearly three weeks.. Completely unsure and somewhat scared to know if something's really wrong.

I recently had a baby. It has been two months, and now that I am able to have intercourse again, I was wondering if you could answer something for me. Right now, I am indecisive about what I want to do about birth control. I don't know if I want to go on the pill...and if I do, which pill? Also...I don't know if I want to go with using condoms?? My question is: In the meantime, if I have sex 1 to 2 days after I finish my period (without using condoms that is), what are the chances of getting pregnant?? Is it too risky?

My mother is forty-eight and has recently been dry heaving and vommiting for about two weeks. Could that be a symptom of menopause as well? She had a heavy load of bleeding, and was anemic until she had some blood transfusion at the hospital. The hospital told us everything else was fine, but she should go check out a gynocologist if she started to bleed again. Any help please?
