Non stop periods
Posted , 1 user is following.
So I've been getting my period every other week (Maybe less) For a few months now. I was on Avian birth control for about a year. I went to my doctor because my periods were irregular and I was getting them often or not consistently. She e switched me to Sprintec birth control which I've been on for almost 3 months now. Ever since then, my periods have been crazy. I've been getting them every other week sometimes even less time in between than that. They're heavy, I have cramps, and my emotions are ALLLL OVER THE PLACE! I'm miserable, crying, depressed, so angry! For NO REASON! She had me get blood work done a few days after seeing her back in December and it came back that my estrogen was high. She wanted me to have it get redone on the 3rd day of my period but my timing has not been lined up with that at all between not being able to miss work or school. It's so frustrating, I feel bloated all the time and just awful. I feel as if I've always had a hormone issue because even when my periods were regular they always lasted longer than 7 days, and have been off. I don't know what to do to help this. I'm 23, and have been on birth control since I was 15. I don't know if anyone else is on Sprintec and has these issues or anything? It's frustrating, and I've gone to multiple doctors about it and all they really do is switch my birth control. I'm just sad because I want to live a normal life not have these issues all the time or feel so emotional and crazy, and s****y 24/7. 😦 I also feel bad because my poor boyfriend has to deal with my crazy emotions and me bleeding all the time (which he is amazing about it and so understanding and takes amazing care of me) But doctors just don't seem helpful and I don't know what's causing this or what to do anymore. (Also, i'm a healthy eater and very active in case that had any type of effect on this problem)
