A member asked:

I have been on low estrogen bc pills for 4 years, every period for the past few months has been extremely heavy out of no where. should i switch pills?

Possibly,: but checking for insulin resistance, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or other issues first. Sonogram of the uterine lining thickness. Discuss with your doctor, and regarding possible change in your OCPs.
