Hello
Since my periods returned 12 months after having DC2 they have been incredibly heavy. To the point that I’m using super plus tampons and a pad needing to be changed regularly. They’ve been regular enough but it’s miserable and often make me nauseous. I went to my GP who was great and referred me for bloods and a scan to check for polyps, fibroids etc. All came back normal.
I went on hols recently and so I ended up back on Microgynon, which I took for years prior to having my kids, as I was due on at the start of my holiday and I really needed something to help with the heaviness. Anyway, 2 weeks into taking the pack I start bleeding. Not as heavy as my period but enough to need to wear a tampon and this bleeding has now persisted for 3 weeks (including over my holiday, doh!). I went back to the doctor and she said give it another 8 weeks and it’s just my body getting used to it but it seems an awfully long time and I don’t fancy another possible 2 months plus of bleeding.
Originally thought it was breakthrough bleeding but this seems too much.
Anyone else had the same?
