I have been on the contraceptive pill for over 10 years, not so much as a family planning tool, but because my periods were extremely heavy and it was hard to cope with. Recently I put in a repeat prescription request to have it denied , doctor says I am too old now ( I am in my late 40’s). Since coming off the pill, I have had a heavy 7 week period with no sign of it stopping. I am extremely tired, and not coping with the flooding that I have always suffered with. ( Hence the reason, I was put on the pill where you don’t have periods) I have telephoned my GP several times who seems to think this is Ok, and won’t see me and says this is just my body adjusting. AIBU to think 7 weeks is excessive and I just want the bloody doctor to see me!
