Bleeding for over two weeks after attempting to skip period!
Question Posted Tuesday August 18 2015, 7:53 pm
Hello all! I have been on Tri-Esarylla for almost a year. Last month, I attempted to skip my period by starting a new pack instead of taking the placebo pills. I have since learned that this is not a very good idea on a tri-phasic pill, but oh well.
Anyways, I managed to delay my period for about two weeks, but have been bleeding nonstop since then. Last week, however, was a placebo week so perhaps that's why. Either way, that's two weeks of bleeding, plus a few days.
I'm a bit concerned because I did have unprotected sex (although he did not ejaculate inside of me) several times during the week that I delayed my period. I'm worried that this is an early miscarriage rather than the effects of attempting to skip my period.
Any advice? Thank you.

and secondly, see your doctor immediately. Whenever a person does anything that is a chance in the schedule of when to take what, or missing a day and doubling up, all of it is wrong and has its own complications. Your bleeding for much longer than normal may or may not be due to delaying the placebo pills and could be a coincidence of occuring at the same time and a sign of something more serious. Thats why its best to see the Dr. and be honest about what you have done.
I know that having a period start at an inconvenient time like when planning a big night with your sweetie sucks but for next time, if he has no problem with it, and you engage in sex right at the beginning or end of period when its much lighter and using a condom for his safety from the blood in case theres something he could catch, then all should be well. If an early miscarriage, a doctor can confirm it and theres nothing special you have to do, just wait it out until its done. But dont just assume that this is what it is when it could be something more serious. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
