Have been on the combined pill for a month, now have very long period?

Question

Around a month and a half ago i took the morning after pill for the first time, even though it was a small risk i was pregnant. About 2 weeks later i thought i had started my period but it was wasnt normal (brown and light) but this eventually went normal(ish) after a few days so i started to take the pill for the first time. It's now over a month later and my period still hasn't stopped its been going for about 38 days now, but it's light and brown so not a normal period at all. I went to the doctor last week and he said to just carry on taking the pills without taking a seven day pill free week. He thought it might stop it, but it has had no change. Sometimes i notice that it almost stops a few hours after i take the pill, maybe i need a higher dose? It's really awful and annoying i just want it to do go away basically! any advice appreciated thanks. note:. i have not been sleeping with my boyfriend lately cos of this.

Answer 1

my doc suspects I have endometriosis as my periods are very painful. I am on birth control called demulin but I still have irregular periods. Sometimes I bleed 3 weeks straight, sometimes I bleed the week before my actual period is supposed to arrive, sometimes I bleed for a day or so and that is all. It is all very weird. I have noticed that being on the pill has made my period blood usually more brown and I usually have lighter periods. Sometimes however, I have heavy flow. If your doc says you are ok then keep with it. Sometimes it takes a few months to regulate in your body, at least that is what my doc said. Maybe you might think about trying a different pill or patch or something. Keep up the communication w/ your doc. Also, it is good to mark your period times, "abnormalities", etc. on a calendar and take that with you to your appointments.
