A member asked:
Lately my period has been coming every week. is it due to an increased build up of uterine lining. i am on the pill for increased testosterone levels.

Breakthrough bleed: Sounds like breakthrough bleeding which occurs when you have bleeding at unscheduled times while on the pill. Often things get back to normal the next cycle. If not then schedule a visit to discuss changing brands or changing birth control methods. This is very common. Other than being annoying it is not dangerous.

I understand that during your period, the uterine lining sheds. I check every month and noticed this month it didn't come out. What could that mean?
I get my period roughly every 6 months. Am I still ovulating? My lab results are all normal, testosterone and estrogen levels are fine.
Would a natural rise in testosterone levels stunt growth if levels increased by 1.5 times for an extended period but still remain within normal range?
