I Have Been Bleeding Since Mid February When I Was
Question: I have been bleeding since mid February when I was due for a refill on my birth control pills, but did not get them in time. I took some extra birth control pills I had from a different refill of mine to fill in the week gap where I would not be able to get my current prescription. I have been bleeding ever since and I have no idea how to fix it. I’m really frustrated. What is going on?
Brief Answer:
Hormonal disturbance likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The bleeding that you are having is likely to be due to a hormonal disturbance caused by irregular intake of hormonal pills or change of the brand. To stop the bleeding you need to start with higher dose hormonal pills like norethisterone that are available on prescription by your gynecologist. A few blood tests and ultrasound scan is also needed to rule out other causes of bleeding. You can consult your gynecologist for proper tests.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
