Bleeding while on birth control?
i'm havein a bit of a problem. i'm bleading down there, lightly, it hurts and its not my period. i've been on sesonal ( birth control where you get a period after three months) i've been talking it for about 9 to 12 weeks. it has nothing to do with sex, since i'm a vergin, and its not anything like a hyman either. can anyone tell me why i'm bleeding, i still have another month and a half before i get my period.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i've been bleeding for like 2 weeks now, lightly, but not spotting

i'm on birth control for PCOS, it causes me to have illregular and painfull periods. but like i said i'm not suppose to get my period for another month.

i'll explain the not spotting thing. spotting is when you bleed every now and then. this is continues, not not really flow-like, its more of a dryed blood discharge.

Answer 1

So you're bleeding lightly, but more heavily than spotting? Not quite sure what you mean by this: can you clarify?

In general, weird bleeding is not at all unusual on the first few months of the birth control pill. Your body is getting accustomed to having the heavier estrogen and progestin levels of the pill override its natural levels. If it doesn't stop after your third full month on, you should call up your doc: a different brand or another method of b.c. may be better for you.

If you're actually in pain, call up your doctor's office. Severe pain is never a good thing, and it's something that should be addressed quickly. Mild pain, that you can cope with by taking an aspirin or something? Might, like the bleeding, just be a temporary side effect.

Answer 2

it's breakthrough bleeding. it'snormal when taking continuous hormones like in seasonale.

additional informations:

>> Seasonale side effects include spotting or bleeding between periods (breakthrough bleeding). Although breakthrough bleeding can occur with any birth control pill, it is more likely to occur with extended-cycle birth control pills — such as Seasonale — than with standard 28-day birth control pills. Although annoying, such breakthrough bleeding usually doesn't indicate a serious underlying problem.

The cause of breakthrough bleeding with an oral contraceptive isn't always clear. It seems to take time for your body to adjust to the hormones when you start taking the medication. In addition, you are more likely to have breakthrough bleeding if you:

Miss a pill
Start a new medication — such as certain antibiotics — that may interfere with the pill
Become ill with vomiting or diarrhea, which may impair absorption of the medication
Unpredictable bleeding with an oral contraceptive should decrease over time. With Seasonale, this can take up to a year.

If you experience breakthrough bleeding with birth control pills, it is important to continue taking the medication as directed. Although unlikely, bleeding may persist until your next scheduled period — which can be a fairly long time with Seasonale. Also, don't be concerned if you do not get your next scheduled period after an episode of breakthrough bleeding.

If breakthrough bleeding with birth control pills persists and becomes heavy or bothersome, contact your doctor to discuss alternative contraception before you stop taking the medication.

>>Breakthrough bleeding is bleeding while taking the active pills of combined oral contraceptives, or other hormonal contraceptives. The bleeding is usually light, often referred to as "spotting," though a few women may experience heavier bleeding. Breakthrough bleeding is most common when a woman first begins taking oral contraceptives, or changes from one particular oral contraceptive to another, though it is possible for breakthrough bleeding to happen at any time.

Many women find that the breakthrough bleeding ceases after one or two cycles. Breakthrough bleeding that does not resolve on its own is a common reason for women to switch to different Pill formulations, or to switch to a non-hormonal method of birth control.

Breakthrough bleeding is most commonly caused by an excessively thick endometrium (uterine lining). This is not a dangerous condition, though the unpredictable and often lengthy periods of bleeding are unpleasant for the woman. Breakthrough bleeding may also be caused by hormonal side effects of ovulation. If the Pill is not suppressing ovulation, the woman is at high risk of pregnancy. Breakthrough bleeding may also itself be a symptom of pregnancy (contraceptive failure).
