Yup! Must be!
Now he actually has another excuse not to come near me.. I'm bleeding again!
![Cry :cry: :cry:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/cry.gif)
This has been going on since March! Bled for 3 weeks, stopped for a week, bled for a week, stopped for a week had a half, bled for a week, stopped for about 4 days, and now I'm bleeding again. SERIOUSLY?! I don't bleed on this pill, so something is definitely going on, but I'm being ignored.
The doctors won't do anything and first blamed it on the antibiotics for the 4 UTI's (maybe so, except the first two I have had with my pill before and they've NEVER reacted and made me bleed; the third and fourth I can't speak for as I haven't had them before now) and then they started saying "It must be your contraception, change it." Er, no. I've been on this for 4-5 years, after trying many other options and THIS one (progesterone-only pill) was one of the few I could have, and it stops me bleeding altogether so I LOVE it! The only time I bleed on it is if I miss a pill, and it's only for a few days generally (when I'm not on the pill I have heavy periods like clockwork). I tried the Implant a few years ago and just bled all the time on it so I went back on the POP, and before I tried the implant I had been on different combined pills but the docs took me off as they realised I shouldn't be on it due to a blood clot risk (due to migraines). so I'm NOT changing my contraception as the only other options left are barrier methods (which won't stop my periods, obviously! I can't deal with the pain of them again) or something like the IUS/IUD which I will not get! I LIKE THIS ONE AND IT WORKS!
I'm 2 years too young for a smear, and got "it's not a diagnostic tool, you can have one when you're 25"
The sheer amount of bleeding is making me anaemic I'm sure (I've been anaemic before and remember how it felt) but all they did was offer me iron tablets. I said "No, 'cause all you're doing is treating the symptoms and ignoring the cause. I'll STILL be bleeding when I take them. Plus you'll end up making me bleed out of another orifice as well because I have haemorrhoids that you've been ignoring since I was 20 weeks pregnant and the last thing I need is to get constipated again and have blood shooting out of there too!!"
They also said they wouldn't do anything until they tested me (a married woman) for STDs.. Sigh. So I did it anyway knowing they were clear, they've come back clear, and still aren't doing anything. It also took them 4 repeat UTI's in 2 months to send a sample to the lab to allegedly see what was causing it, and it came back with "congratulations, you have a UTI" basically
So they sent me on my merry way with nothing new, and no referral. I've made an appointment to go back (AGAIN) and see someone else due to starting bleeding again yesterday, and it's making me miserable. But everyone else keeps saying "Oh, it's one of those things". What, what of those things that isn't supposed to happen? Yeah.
(although I saw he wont come near me, despite me being like this I managed to get a quickie last night, poor guy
