girly problem???

*before i get yelled at by the mods and various others, i realise that there have been a lot of threads along the lines of this subject recently and i have trawled through them all looking but none have had advice on my particular problem.*

Im on the pill - Ovranette - and have run about 5 packs together for various reasons. When ive done this before ive never had any problems, but suddenly today i started to get fairly heavy breakthrough bleeding. Since the reason i ran this pack on is cos im sitting exams at the mo this is really not good.

i know there are some other people on here who continuously run packs together so i was wondering if this ever happens to you? and how long it might last?

i know some people might just say put up with it and sit your exams but my periods are excrutiatingly painful to the extent of throwing up and passing out - hence the running the packs on together, ive already got the begininnig of the cramps. not particularly good for revision!

any help would be greatly appreciated!

i phoned up the docs earlier to make an appointment, and asked to see a female doc as i figured they might understand a little more. but the recepcionist sp told me that the only female doc is away on maternity leave and that they were very busy at the mo. she gave me a choice of two doctors (i cant even see my regular doc cos hes on holiday).
one is really old and nasty - i went to see him when i got my foot smashed with a hockey stick full force, he told me the pain couldnt be that bad and no he wouldnt give me a note to get off games and pe, later went to the emergency room after passing out to find i had broken three bones and had to have a cast!
the other option ive never seen before so said yeah and then she goes their may be a supervisor in with him as he is newly qualified and sometimes his accent is a little hard to understand!

so god knows what he ll say. was everyone else given advice about the maximum to run together then? mine just said to keep going.

well if you think that loads of dead cells and extra lining are just sitting up there, you can imagine that the uterus is trying to work a lot harder to expel it all..so yeah, it does tend to hurt more than your average period.

but five packs is ridiculous to have run together really. Your doctor was way out of line to be advising you to keep going without a break - especially when there's no really good reason why you oughtn't to be having a period.

I concur.

You don't want to get endometriosis. If it's meant to come out, let it.

so im at risk from something like that? boy do i love my doctor!


my periods have always been really painful from the start and its just got worse over the years. all ive ever been told is that the pain shouldnt really be enough to stop me doing anything (cept it is) and to try and get on with it. I got sent home from work tonite after throwing up and having dizzy spells from the pain.

passing out is not something i find fun, i get really disorientated when i come around and tend to hyperventilate and freak out. Why have you been passing out?

Hey,
when i go to the doctors i normally see a nurse, why dont u phone back up and ask to see her, most doctors normally hav one for family planning n all that. i know wot u mean bout moron doctors tho, mine is really religious, and shouted at me for having sex before marriage! lol
oh and i got told not to carry on the pill for more than 3 months coz all ure lining builds up and makes you feel sluggish and emotional.
i have mefanamic acid too it really helps.
