My period normally last for 5 days but lately it's like 2 days noticable bleeding and 2/3 pink /red discharge i'm not yet 40 and think it's too soon to be the menopause any one else had anything like this going to the doc next week just testing the water to see if it's normal.Bit puzzled?
This could be the onset of early menopause,I would not worry about this but look on it as a blessing, who wants a long and heavy period anyway,if you are worried contact the nurse at your GP who can do a simple test to check hormone levels and they will also be able to tell you if you are in early stages of the menopause which you could be at 40
Get a hormone check done, I went through the menopause in my 40's so it could be that, but it could just as easily be caused by stress.
Can be normal more worrying if the period lasts longer or they are irregular. Sometimes if you haven't ovulated(produced an egg in a cycle the period can be lighter. Hormone tests aren't terribly helpful if you are still having your peiods because you must still have sufficuent oestrogen kicking around and since the blood tests check for FSH(follicle stimulating hormone) which rises when no oestrogen is around likely to be normal.
think you need your hormone levels checked, mind you in saying that it all depends on how long you have been experiencing these problems - if its say just a couple of cycles it might just be a wee upset in your hormone levels etc but always wise to get it checked out, good luck.
My mother actually went through menopause in her 40's - I would see your doctor and talk about it.

Bit puzzled?
BirthControl Pills?
I'm being put on Lo-estrin 24.
Have you taking this one before? did you like it.?
I was on Yasimne for 5 years. I have been off of it since November. I will be starting the new one on the sunday after my next monthly. I just want to know if you liked lo-estrin and/or what kind of side effects it had on you..
thanksBirthControl Pills?
I loved being on loestrin. I've had problems with birth control making me gain weight, and I was finally able to lose weight on this one. I had no noticable side effects, so I think it's great. Hope this helps!

Birth Control?
Ive been on birth control for a while and recently had to go to my provider to get more, the orginal birth control i was on was Trycyclon lo and they gave me trycyclon which is more hormones .....does this mean I have to wait a whole month to have sex, like I did when I first got on Birth Control?Birth Control?
i don't think you have to but to be sure call tour doctor or the pharmacist. Or you can make your man wear a condom.
no waiting, have sex right away, call me
not unless you miss a day, then you have to wait a couple weeks, or use a condom. well...you should use one anyway, just incase you're worried!
You were on the same birth control pill just a low dose now this one is a little high dose but that doesn't mean that you will have to wait.It will work just fine from day one.No need to worry at all just trust your doctor.
no
Birth Control?
I just started the Loestrin 24 birth control pill the day of my period. Usually my period is 5-7 days long, but now I'm on my 9th day and it doesn't seem to be letting up any. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it because of the pill?Birth Control?
I just started a different kind of birth control as you, but I am in the same boat. Its totally normal. I'm on day 12 of my period, and the doctor said it would last up to 28 days, at which point your period will be starting again. If you feel like you need to talk to someone about it, i would talk to your doctor. They're very helpful with it. However, it is normal to have hormonal changes when starting birth control. Your body is just not used to the changes in the hormone levels yet, and the extensive length of time you're on your period is just your bodies way of trying to adjust. I wish you the best of luck, and my e-mail is not hidden if you have anymore questions. I wont hesitate to help.
I took Seasonale and bled for the 30 days that I took it. I switched brands and the bleeding stopped immediately. If it doesn't stop talk to you doctor.
Birth Control?
Hello All, Can someone please tell me if there is a contracetive out there without all the crazy side effects???Birth Control?
Barrier methods (condom/diaphragm/foam/gel) have fewer side effects than hormonal BC (pill, depo shot, nuva-ring), but they are generally less effective that the hormonal methods.
There is always a trade-off with BC, and the only 100% sure method is abstinence.
Wish I had better news. Maybe explore non-intercourse forms of pleasure?
No,nothing really.They just give you antibiotics and then,****
Ortho tri cyclin low is pretty good. The only side effect I notice is that sometimes I experience minor break through bleeding before my period. But that's it.
well most woman dont ever experience any crazy side effect. mostly gaining or lossing weight. im on depo and i love it! plus you dont have to worry about forgeting you daily pills or ugly patches.
Kariva (pill) NO side affects whatsoever.
I went on Kariva because Depo was horrible. Depo for four years and had horrendous side affects (weight gain, mood swings, spotting at odd times). Plus every five years you need a bone density check since it screws up your bone health.
Birth Control?
Is there any type of birth control that doesn't make you fat and doesn't screw with your hormones?Birth Control?
Condoms, womens condoms, diapram, spemicide
All pills and patches and shots will mess with the hormones
Yes, condoms.
Hey, Better you avoid intercourse...
There are so many different kinds of pills out there now. Just go to your gyno and say that you want to feel the least amount of side effects as possible. Your doctor is experienced with these kinds of things, and will be able to suggest a good pill for you.
Also remember it will take a lot of trial and error, as every body will react differently. I tried about two different kinds of pills before I settled on one I liked.
Condoms are effective, but you should definitley be double-protected. If anything, to keep your mind at ease.
nope, they all alter something.
Birth Control?
Can anyone tell me about the uva ring ??, Or the birth control ring ,, i am starting it next week ?Birth Control?
i love the nuva ring. because the release of hormones is constant and steady there are less side effects. you just put it in on the first day of your cycle, and remove it 3 weeks later. leave it out for 7 days, then start over with a new one. (if you go to the website you can download a program to remind you when to take it out and put a new one in.) it stays in pretty good, but if something happens and it comes out, you can just rinse it off and stick it back in. (don't let it stay out more than 3 hours) you will need a back up method of birth control the first 7 days (you will probably be bleeding anyway), but after that you are protected.
One of my girlfriends uses it and she says its great. It's supposed to insert just like a tampon and you leave it there, I think she said a week or so before your period and then you take it out, have your period and shove a new one back in.
Well this ring that you speak of is a little smaller than the ring around a diaphragm or a female condom. It is a clear plastic like the ring around the female condom besides it being smaller it contains hormones. It is also inserted the same way as a diaphragm or a female condom. Nonetheless it is easier to insert because of its size.
It is inserted into the area in front of the cervix and beyond the vaginal canal.
