My friends think I'm bizarre for complaining about this, but I just feel like something isn't quite right.
I've been on the pill for 4 years now, because my period pain used to be so bad, I couldn't get out of bed. I tried going off the pill once, but the period pain hit me during a class and my friends had to carry me to the bathroom because I couldn't walk to it. I'd get super, super heavy periods - I was soaking through maternity pads, and they'd last a week and a half and I'd get them every 2 weeks.
So I went on the pill, and everything was just fine. I have this thing though where I need to have a period at least every 6 weeks or I start to feel weird, even though I know some girls skip months at a time. My periods are pretty much pain free and whilst I think I still bleed more than an average girl, it was a dramatic reduction and manageable.
This time...I really felt like I needed to have a period - I don't know what it was, but I just felt the need to have it. And at first it appeared like I was right - instead of my periods starting after the 3rd sugar pill, they started on the first...but then...there's been nothing. There was one medium sized clot, and that's it, the rest has been spotting...and it's been 5 weeks since my last one. I go back on the active pill in 2 days, so normally my period would be just about over by now, but I don't feel like I've bled enough - I feel like there's still lining in there waiting to get out but nothing's happening, and it's making me feel strange and irritable.
My friends are telling me that it's so abnormal that I'm complaining about not bleeding enough, but I feel uncomfortable! Does anyone else experience this? I feel like I'm going to continue to feel gross until I bleed! I don't know how to help it along? If I even can?! Urgh I'm so weird.
