Hey all,

I was on the patch for about 7 months up until two weeks ago. I had no issues and was using it continuously, having a period every three months as directed by my gyno. I discontinued use and I’ve had my period for two weeks now. It looked like it was stopping last week but came back hard and fierce and now it’s just non stop and pretty heavy. It’s not old, the color is too bright and it’s too liquid for it to be old blood. I’m kind of at a loss because this is why I was using BC in the first place, I didn’t want to have a period s much as possible since they’re so painful and I lose a lot of blood. I’m out of commission for a couple days usually. I can’t afford that now and it’s just not a fun time. Any and all advice or personal experience is welcome here.
