Bleeding when comming off the pill (3 weeks)

[Lovemusic33]

Hi, I came off the pill after my last period due to side effects. Got my first period after comming off 3 weeks ago but have been bleeding non stop for 3 weeks now, not always heavy but there has been no break and cramping is just getting worse and worse. I have contacted my gp this morning via email and have asked for advice as I'm now feeling unwell (low iron?).

Has anyone else experienced this? I can't find anything online to sugest it's normal to bleed for this long when coming off birth control.

I am 38 and have had issues for a long time, the pill caused me to jave spotting and i have been unable to have sex for a year because I bleed (I don't have a partner at the moment, I'm too scared to get into a relationship due to the bleeding), with my last partner I would bleed during sex and after, it got really embarrassing. The pill was also giving me head aches. Thought comming off would solve these issues but it has just caused others, the cramps havekept me up all night.

Anyone?
GP has given me something to reduce the bleeding but I’m now entering week 4 😭, the pills reduce it but it’s still not stopping. GP doesn’t really know what else to try and seemed more concerned about the fact I have no contraception despite the fact I’m single 😐.

What did the GP give you?. If its anything like transexamic or mefanemic acid it is unlikely to work totally (although it will slow the bleeding down). You need to treat the cause as well as the symptoms.

I have experienced prolonged bleeding pertaining to perimenopause and in the end northisterone did not stop the bleeding ultimately. I went onto have endometrical ablation surgery and I have had no problems since.

Has the GP not referred you to a gynae; you need medical attention from such a person.

I have been given transexamic, on 6 tablets a day but as soon as it wears off I’m bleeding heavily again.

GP wants to try wait a while before referring me to gynae, not sure why.
