actually, it's pretty common. in the paperwork they say "irregular bleeding may occur" which means you can bleed like a stuck pig for months. my doc didn't even give a damn and didn't tell me that could happen. they just want you to wait it out. i went on the pill, but changed my mind after a week, which caused me to bleed for months. i later found out that being on the pill for just a week sent my hormones outta wack. stop being a dumbass and assuming things.

I was on 7 different kinds of birth control before I found one that worked for me. Spotting is normal while your body gets used to the hormones, but excessive full period bleeding is not. It is extremely dangerous and can lead to anemia and other conditions. I had one that had me going in for weekly blood tests because I lost so much and it threw my body so out of whack. If you had a doctor that cared even the slightest bit they'd get you off that shit and on to something that actually works.

This happened to me when I was 17. Every time I would tell my Gynecologist she would feed me a line about how it "normal to spot". But I wasn't spotting and she wouldn't believe me! Finally I went to a regular doctor because my parents were concerned about me. First came the anemia. The anemia triggered fatigue. And the fatigue caused depression. Now, I take iron and estrogen pills to counteract it. I'm one wrong move away from a hysterectomy. On the plus side, it never made me gain weight. I guess I should be positive about that, Lol.
