Please help me. My mother is at work, and Web MD isint really helping me at all.
I just started a Birth Control called Minestrin. But for the past two months I have been bleeding thru. Really heavy most the time, I think in the past 2 months I have had 4 periods. I don't know whats going on!?
I read it could be Cancer, Pregnancy, Stress, or just the kind of pill im on isint right for me.
Please help me, I know you can't diagnose my problem, but please any imput will help. I am scared. Should I take this really seriously, or get a diffrent kind of Pill?

You need to call the Dr. whom prescribed the pill and tell them.
They need to change it.
How old are you, anyway?

Bleeding in between your periods is normal when you first start on the pill. Sounds like you need a different birth control pill. Most people have to try a few different ones before they find one that works for them. Dont panic! Just make an appointment with your doctor, and dont stop taking them right now. Because then you will probably have another period. What your doctor will probably have you do is fill a prescription for another kind then at the end of the month just start on the new kind. That way you have no chance in decreased protection against pregnancy like you would if you suddenly stopped your pills.

Okay - calm down sweetey -- it could very well be the type of medication....so do NOT freak out. If you read too much into "symptoms" online or in a book, you will turn into a hypocondriac....and THAT is not healthy. A LOT of different symptoms have different diagnoses. I'm serious here -- chill out and just check with the doctor. Oh, and I've HAD breast cancer -- it's not a death threat anymore --cancer. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IF IT IS though.

First. RELAX.
The first 3 months of a new birth control pill can cause you to have some irregular bleeding. It is usually normal.
If you are feeling poorly - other than the bleeding - you should see a doctor.

Probably wise to stop taking the pill and book an appointment at the doctors. Read the info leaflet you got with the packet and see if it mentions any similar side effects.
I'd bet my bottom dollar that its the pill, not the other things you mentioned.

Relax. :)
It's probably that the pill isn't the right one for you. Lots of women have to try different kinds before they find one that works. (I use Vaz, which I LOVE...) Or it could be stress.
Don't take it too seriously. Just wait till your mom gets home, talk to her, and get in with the doctor who prescribed it to you. And until then, take a deep breath. You're fine.

I say get to your doctor's ASAP. You could be having a adverse reaction to your pill. They will probably put you on a different one...some times it takes a while to find the one that's right for you. ;) Don't freak out, just pick up the phone and make the appointment. :D

There are a couple of possibilities for this bleeding occurring: your body trying to adjust to being on the medication, or the amount of estrogen in that brand is not high enough for your body to tolerate.
I would recommend letting your mom know what's going on as soon as she gets home from work and also please let your doctor know what's going on so that they can evaluate the situation further.

Sounds like the pill and plus you are stressing about it. I would talk to your doctor about changing to a new pill

it's possible for it to be pregnancy, or stress. sometimes you bleed throughout an entire pregnancy. i would get on the phone and call your mom, it could be a serious situation. but DONT stress, it may be worse. just stay calm because it may be the pill. i used to get it from a pill i was on too. just talk to the mother! :) good luck
