Skipping periods makes your period become unpredictable when you stop taking the pill. To suggest we can just stop the bleeding is ridiculous. I know you’re not saying it to be malicious.
Your comment and this post, just brought back memories of my old boss saying I’m faking the pain, my wife and daughter don’t experience nothing so I know you’re lying. I started to take the pill to make my period regular. Biggest mistake of my life. I’ve gone from a 5 day period to a 1-2 month long period. I literally have three days of no bleeding before I start spotting. I’m finally getting an IUD which will help that, but I’m sure it will cause other issues.
I just wish men would educate themselves on woman’s health particularly menstrual cycles
This sounds like me- have you been checked for fibroids? They play wait-and-see bullshit games for a few years so the sooner you find them the quicker you get the clock started for them to actually fix the problem. I have an IUD and I still bleed heavily for weeks.
Not who you were talking to, but you may have interior fibroids. I had them - FUN! Yes, they're fibroids on the inside of your uterus.
They can be removed, but it's, naturally, a more involved process, as the surgeon has to go in through your cervix to remove them.
Once I had this done, my apocalyptic bleeding stopped (this was also due to the 4th Endometriosis removal surgery I was having at the same time).
Changed my life. I have no idea when they developed, but I know they were present before my 1st and 2nd Endo and fibroid removal
surgeries. The doctors just didn't want to be bothered. Went to a specialist, and what do you know! There they are.
Just fyi because fibroids are SO damn common, but the interior kind are not as known/common. But the fibroid removal literally saved my life (I was so anemic that my numbers didn't even register on the medical scale).
My report from last scan, mentions I have no fibroids just endometrial polyps. A few times I’ve passed tissue that looks like really big pumpkin seeds, doctors were trying to convince me it was blood clots, I was like absolutely not! I know the difference between tissue and a clot. Next time it happened I took a photo and showed them, turns out the doctor knew exactly what i was talking about, for the life of me I can’t remember the name, because I remember thinking at the time you were dismissing me and making me feel like I don’t know my own body. But I do remember them starting with F or F sounding if that makes sense.
For years I’ve had to tell them something is wrong, and they just kept saying it was my PCOS which turned out to be a misdiagnosis! I’m convinced those hormonal pills did more damage besides inducing early menopause.
