TMI question: Bleeding for more than a week?

[Deleted]

TMI- TMI- TMI:





So, I have endometriosis. My periods are just a mess and always have been. However, I am on BC. It is usually a three month pack, then period. Well, I started the placebo week, started to bleed like normal, but now I have already started the new BC week, am almost through it, and I am still bleeding. Not a lot, just a little. Enough to warrant a change of a liner during the day. My back sort of hurts too, which is also weird. I called my doc and they said this happens, but I'm still mildly worried. At first I thought my eggo might be preggo somehow, but that doesn't seem likely at all. 

Has this ever happened to any one else?

this is me. bleeding 7 out of the last 10 weeks.

this week it came down to a D&C or 8 weeks of progesterone to stop it. I started the progesterone 2 days ago and the bleeding is just now tapering off.

I was bleeding out orange sized clots though, so maybe different. We also tried a 5 day course of progesterone a couple weeks ago

I have not POAS. I bled really, really heavily at the start of this period. I probably should, though.

So, basically if this lasts for more than the rest of this week, call the doctor again?  

Arg, bleeding for that long is just awful. Sorry you all had to go through that.

My doc normally wants a pattern before seeing me. I wasn't on 3 month BC. A one off she doesn't worry about and it happens. A few months in a row she wants to see me. Doc is less concerned if things start off heavy but turns to just spotting after normal cycle length. If heavy bleeding/clots continue she usually schedules an office visit.

POAS. If neg, since you are on 3 month BC, I'd still call the doc. See what doc wants to do. Mine CBC, hormone, thyroid levels, and send me off for an ultrasound to see if it is a cyst or something internal causing the extra bleeding. Will treat on test results.

I have the Paragard IUD and sometimes I bleed for more than 7 days....not red blood, just light brown that seems to take 3-4 days to stop.
