Question 1

could heavy bleeding complications be caused by birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Symptoms and concerns like these mandate a thorough evaluation by your doctor.  Only after such an evaluation, which may include labs and radiographic examinations, can he/she let you know what's going on and how best to help you.

Question 2

pcos and heavy bleeding from birth control pills, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Heavy bleeding: If you are having trouble with your birth control pills you should contact your gynecologist for a telephone opinion and most likely you will be seen in a short while or advised over the phone what to do in the meantime.

Question 3

is pcos and heavy bleeding caused by birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

Heavy bleeding: No matter what the cause you must see your obstetrician/gynecologist soon. They are in the best condition to explain what is happening and how your issue can be helped.

Question 4

is it common to experience heavy bleeding with kariva (mircette) birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

No: We expect periods to get lighter, not heavier, on the pill.  You should consult your doctor to look for other explanations.

Question 5

been on birth control pills for 5 years. i missed one pill and consumed alcohol the same night. i woke up to very heavy bleeding and pains for 4 days?

Accepted Answer

Common: Even missing just one pill or taking it late can start    breakthrough bleeding.

Question 6

my wife has heavy bleeding since she put paragard iud (26 days ago) the doctor gave her aurobindo( birth control pills) to help stop the bleeding.but not stopping after 1week n recent big dark clot blood?

Accepted Answer

Excessive bleeding: Since her doctor has prescribed medical therapy for excessive bleeding and the IUD is in place, I would recommend she see her women's health doctor for more definitive treatment. as soon as possible.

Question 7

i missed two birth control pills and i doubled them on the third day. i started bleeding the day after i doubled them. why?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: withdrawal bleeding from missing the doses (not from taking the double dose). it wouldn't be a bad idea to use a second form of contraception for a little while.

Question 8

i have been bleeding for 11 days while on birth control pills and its been  super heavy and painful ?

Accepted Answer

Dr. or ER can check: Heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding may need medication to stop it, to avoid too much blood loss. One's primary care doctor can help. An exam is usually needed, but if a teen has no risk of sexually transmitted diseases, then an internal vaginal exam may not be necessary. Sometimes, one's doctor will refer to an Ob-Gyn doctor to evaluate for medication (pills) treatment.

Question 9

i started birth control, and waiting exactly one week to have unprotected sex. a week later, i started to bleed while still taking the pills. this bleeding lasted all through the rest of my birth control pills. so i was basically bleeding for two, three w

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: is quite common when first starting BC pills. FYI: You are not protected until you have finished 1 complete pack of pills. Go directly into your second pack and consult your GYN. Use pills and condoms.

Question 10

i'm bleeding/spotting two days after rough intercourse, and changed birth control pills a week ago. what's the bleeding from?

Accepted Answer

Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time)  is very common on birth control.: It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time.  if you are not satisfied or it continues to happen  then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.
