Maybe someone in this forum can help me... I am 21 years old, and I have never had regular periods. I have one every thrre or four months or so. It has been like this since I was 15. I had a baby 9 months ago, and my periods are still being irregular, but it never really bothered me much. My doctor put me on birth control pills a month ago to try to regulate my period. I started bleeding heavy and having blood clots four days after i started taking the pill. I bled for three weeks, so i called the doctor and he brought me in. He told me that he thought my walls of my uterus were thick and that he needed to perform a hysteroscopy with a D & C on me, and that would stop the bleeding immediately. I went through the procedure on wednesday of last week and my bleeding was stopping the next morning. All of the sudden that night blood started flowing really heavy again. I started getting sick on Friday, so I called the doctor. I was still on the pill, but he asked me to come in for an emergency visit. He looked at me and said I was bleeding more than I should be and that my blood tests showed I was too low on iron and i needed to take supplements. He also switched my pill to a pill that is 2x stronger than the pill i was on before and said that my bleeding would be stopped by Monday. Well, today is Monday and I am still bleeding heavy and there is no sign of it slowing down any time soon. That makes this bleeding to be going on for almost a month!! I am starting to quesiton if my doctor really knows what he is doing. I am supposed to go back next week and he said he would stop the pill for a week and allow me to have a regular period! Why? I have been bleeding for a month! I don't know if he knows what he is talking about and i am considering taking myself completely off the birth control. I was much happier off the pill because i didnt bleed so much! Any advice?? I dont know what to do at this point. Thanks for reading!
First of all, I congratulate that you have a child. Many people suffer due to infertility on that condition. Delayed menstruation is due to coldness in body or Qi deficiency (meaning weak energy). Without diagnosing you such as color, any kind of pain before, during or after periods and other examinations, it is difficult to give you proper advice to you. You might have cold hands before taking birth control pills based on irregular periods since 15. After taking pills, you experienced blood clots. This might be ok for you. The problem is continued heavy flow. I guess pills may change your body warm, especially inner uterus.
Birth control pills may be very harmful to most women in my opinion. I don't know how they work, but whatever against nature will be eventually not good for woman body. Eggs supposed to be moved toward fallopian tubes every month are accumulated in the fixed place like ovary. These may turn to tumor or even cancer. I don't know any study made for this purpose. Of course this short period should not be concerned for tumor. Anything supposed to be moved must be moved properly, if not it will cause problems in the future.
