Continuous Period

Former Member

Ever since the day I hit puberty and had my first period, it has never been regular and was always very heavy.

Due to this and many other reasons, I decided to go on the injection for about a year and half or so.

Anyways.... my point I'm trying to get to is that I've been off the injection for 2 years now. Got my periods which are irregular as usual but there are now times I would miss my period for a couple times then other times I would have my period a couple times a month.

Is this normal? Has anyone else ever experienced this before?

I've never been on the injection, but i know a few people who have, and they all, without exception, said that they had really messed up periods after coming off it. I think it's one of those things, and apparently they saw the doctor and they couldn't do anything about it either. I do feel for you though, i was on the pill for 3 years, and then recently had an IUS fitted, and i've been waiting for 2 and a half months for my period to come and it hasn't - i've just been spotting off and on for all that time. Grrrrr!! :mad:

Ah Cheers!

At least I know I aint the only one experiencing this.
It's bloody annoying and frustrating :banghead:
Just have to be patient then.

Thanks again for your post -

YEAH!

I have that!

I was on the jab, and I came off of it about 9 months ago, and went on the pill - came off of that and my periods are all over the effin' SHIP!

I think I'll need to go back on the pill to regulate em about, cause they're so irreagular and I dunno when they come, because the cramps aren't like proper cramps: they're sort of butterfly-ish/twinges yanno?

It's seriously annoying >:|

I've had a period now for about two weeks. Went through a packet of tampons already and I'm WELL into the second pack

Yeah, trip to the FPA should do.
