Q:
I've been on
ortho-tricylen for the past 4+ years and everything has been normal. For
the past 3 months, my periods are very weird. At the time of my period
(right on schedule) I've been spotting (maybe using 1-2 tampons a day)
until my fiancé and I have intercourse. Then I bleed heavily for about 20
minutes (only having intercourse 1 or 2 times while on my period). That's
it....that's my period. Then, during "ovulation" I have very bad cramps,
like on my period, but don't bleed. It lasts for about 5-6 days with
severe bloating. What could be wrong?
A:
It is important that you have a full pelvic exam to make
sure you do not have infections or some other kind of inflammation causing
the abnormal bleeding.
