Answer 1

I would keep going back to the doc., until your bleeding is gotten more under control. That seems like a lot of blood & it is certainly more than a cupful, you could be becoming anemic from all the blood loss.

Answer 2

That sucks.

Having a period sucks in general. Just keep doing what you have to do.

Going on the pill (or the patch) is the only way I know that will help. How long did you try it for? Try it for at least a good 6 months. You have to be really consistent with it. Take the pill at the same time each day, and don't skip or forget any.

You can always go on that pill that makes you only have your period 3 or 4 times a year. There's absolutley nothing dangerous about skipping periods like that. Give it another shot.

I also read somewhere that no matter how much blood it seems like, most girls only lose less than a cup over the entire 7 days.

Answer 3

You should definitely go back to the doctor and tell them that you are still having problems. They can keep adjusting the medication until they get it right. What is more important is that this isn't constant. If it does only happen once a month, like a period, it isn't so bad. If it is non-stop, go to the emergency room!
