Menstrual Disorders
"GYN prescribed this to help control some of my symptoms caused by large fibroid (heavy bleeding, long periods). I am 42 and have never been on birth control because I do not like messing with my hormones. However, I was willing to try this because it had gotten to the point where my hormones were naturally so out of whack that controlling them this way seemed like a good option.  I was near the end of my period when I started taking the pill and it did seem to shorten it by a couple days. However, 10 days into the pack ( and 8 days after finishing my last period) I began bleeding (not spotting). It has now been 6 days of continuous bleeding and today I am bleeding very heavy with very large clots."
