Hello ladies,
So i have few questions to figure out if i should see a doctor or if this is normal. I have been taking one-a -day birth control pills for almost 1 ½ years now. My periods have never been regular, so once i started taking the pill, periods were actually on time…BUT they have been extremely light (half a day cycle…seriously.) I spoke to my OB and she said since I had a lot of milk production for the 8 months i breastfeed LO, my uterus walls was very thin hence the light period and nothing to worry about. No issues with this.
Issue 1 is i have started to skip months (only has happened twice in the last 6 months…where i skipped a whole cycle.)
***issue 2, my cramps and pains are getting worse and worse each month. This last time I couldn’t even sleep because of the cramps and had to up the pain killers. It has never been this bad and this too only started about 6 months ago. I never use to have cramps, even before the birth control. I always had back pain or leg pains. But now I have cramps, and back pain.
I always thought that birth control is supposed to reduce the pain and regulate the cycle. So what’s going on with mine? Is this normal? My next check-up isn’t for another 6 months…should I wait?
Currenlty i have no stress to cause this change.
