i had bleeding for around 3 months when i tried the pill the last time. to be honest, i got so sick of messing with my bodies natural hormones and being a slave to a packet of pills every day that i have had a non hormonal coil fitted. im only 22 and havent had children but its been in for two years now and i love it. no hassle, no hormones and it lasts for 5 years.
marvellous. recommend it to anyone!

The femodine obviously isn't right for you.
Trust your Doctor.
Your cycle is already messed up, as it takes a good 6 months for a person's cycle to settle on the pill.
Take your new pill without your break as your doc has advised, and if you continue to experience further problems, go see your doc again.
I had long term bleeding for 6 months on the injection, and once I started the pill my doc prescribed, it stopped after 4 days.
Best of luck x

yes, well no... I had the opposite problem... IT NEVER CAME!!!! it's so scary when stuff like that happens... but honestly, it is completely normal! I would wait a month before stressing out so bad. These pills and contraceptives work differently for different bodies... especially if this is the first time you are taking them. Just like anything else, you should definetly try to wait before choosing to stop or continue with this... If you are very worried, I would call your doctor and tell him exactly what you asked here... It sounds very logistic and you should tell your dr. that this is scary to you... at least get a 'piece of mind' while going through this... I wish the best for you!

I had a similar problem when on pill and had to carry through the "pill free week". I would then bleed for three weeks solid. Docs couldn't explain it - said it was "one of those things". If you are worried about changing the meds, go back and speak to your doc.

Change in the pill ( Injection , implant or tablets!) Will muck your body up. Give it three months and see if it settles down. Your hormones will be all over the place.

OK first your doctor did do a medical i.e. blood pressure and check your heart....Both before putting you on it in the beginning and checked it when you went back with the problems?
If you are in the UK ring the NHS helpline they are very helpful and will get someone who knows this area better
Good luck

I think you are a candidate for endometriosis, long term bleeding is one symptom,a dull achy feeling in your lower abdomen,sometimes sex is painful. Has your doctor discussed this with you? I would ask some questions to get to the root of the problem.
