Does Unexpected Bleeding Two Weeks After The Last Period Require A Visit To The ER While On Ortho Tri-Cyclen For Two Years?
Question: My daughter is newly married but has been on ortho trycycline for about 2 years. She is bleeding like she is on her period but just had her period two weeks ago. Should we go to the emergency room or something. All the doctors offices are closed now
Brief Answer:
Visit the ER
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Any sort of intermenstrual bleed must be evaluated in detail. Such unwarranted heavy intermenstrual bleed could be due to abortion. Newlywed, could land in such situations. It is very essential for her to be examined at the earliest. In case its a miscarriage a dilatation and curettage must be done.
If the bleeding is slight, just spotting it could be implantation bleed. This is normal and need no intervention for now.
Hope I answered your query. Wish you good health.
Regards
