What to do if having non stop bleeding since a month after missing a Noriday pill on day 8?
Patient: Hi I have been on Noriday. Missed one pill on day 8 and haven t stopped bleeding for 30 days straight now. It s not agreeing with me and I m OVER IT!!! Doc said to carry on taking it, but I don t need this and my body doesn t either, clearly its not right for me Vanessa Doctor: Hello,I have gone through your query and understood the concern. During the initial months of hormone contraception, menstrual irregularities are observed and these include persistent bleeding/spotting, mid-cycle bleeding/spotting, irregular cycles and heavy bleeding etc. These usually settle down after a few months as the body adjusts itself to the new hormone level. If you do not find any respite after managing your diet, weight and styptics, you need to get a complete physical evaluation, hepatic/renal profile, blood counts and coagulation profile, stop the medication and go for a suitable alternative. Hope this helps.
