Girls, Menstrual Cycle?

[Anonymous]

So as of my last question about this subject. I am still on my period. Been almost 4 weeks now but now it has gotten heavier and i started to get major cramps. Does anyone know what this could be?

From reading your other comments, I can relate. I was on birth control for about a year. Suddenly my periods became extremely erratic. I'd have one every two weeks and they'd last two or three weeks. My gynecologist switched me to a higher dose of birth control. A couple months later, the same thing happened.
My advice would be to stop taking the pill IMMEDIATELY. You need to consider non-hormonal methods of birth control. I did, and after five months my periods are FINALLY back to normal.
Also, if you've been on your period for four weeks, there's a very good chance you could be severely anemic. You really do need to go to the hospital. Like, the ER. Don't wait. You could seriously die from this.

you trying to scare me?

No, I'm just saying it's a big deal

You still haven't gone to the doctor? None of us here are medical professionals so you'll get nothing out of asking us what's going on. Go to the doctor, this could be very very serious.

Either that or just stop taking the pills.

[Asker]

That is what I did. I just stopped taking it.

Good :)

And as per the majority of the answers to your last question.. Have you consulted your Doctor/GP yet.. And if not, why not.

None of us here are that medically qualified to give you professional answers or advice.

Because I attend a technical school called Job Corps, where i live here and I can't go to a doctor. The nurse just said I needed a increase in my birth control so I got one and have had that one for 2 months and nothings changed. I got a heavier flow and cramps now. I have been on the same birth control for over 4 years. never has it happened.

Are you seriously trying to tell me that you have absolutely no way whatsoever in seeing a Doctor/GP.

God forbid.. What would the situation be if you were taken seriously ill.. Would the nurse simply say take a few pills.

I fear that you could now be losing too much blood therefore.. YOU NEED TO GET TO A DOCTOR/GP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I can see a doctor. They just weren't open yesterday. aaaand she told me before that it was normal.

[SolitaireBond]

Did she.. Have you actually asked if SHE herself has had the very same thing happen to her.. I'll bet the answer will be no.

Personally I wouldn't have any faith at all with this so-called nurse.

But, at the end of the day it's up to you.. I really have nothing more to add, so I will wish you well.

I would go to the doctor a. s. a. p. You could also get anemic because of the blood loss. Have you noticed being drained, no energy, looking a bit paler?

[monicute]

Please stop BC pills right away or you might end up anemic! Get a second opinion and don't trust this so called nurse - she isn't qualified enough.
