Hi,
I've been on combination pill for a little over a year. Last cycle, I started bleeding in the last week of active pills.
My pharmacy generic substitute for this month. I've taken it before without issues.
I may also have missed a pill and one night I threw up, I'm unsure if that messed things up.
I went to my gyn,she suggested to stay on track and see what happens. This week, I'm pill free (placebo week) and am still bleeding. Is it because of lack of hormone progestin in my body right now? My gyn told me to start the new pack a d usual this coming Sunday and see if my cycle clears up.
I usually have regular but painful cycles, but never bleed more than 5 days. I'm on day 8 today. Bleeding is moderate, necessitating pads/tampons.
I'm just fed up of the inconvenience and need advice on whether this is normal? How can I make my bleeding stop? NSAID like ibuprofen? Will bleeding continue until I go on the new pack?
Any advice/previous experience will help! TIA!!
