Hi everyone *waves*
I have a question for y'all (per usual lol). I am on the implant and take the pill to stop my constant bleeding, and finally found one that works (YAY). Anyway, I also stack the pill (two packs, then period) because I hate my period and it knocks me out for four days and I become useless, whiney, and constantly tired (honestly I hate myself when I bleed). Anyway, I am meant to be on my break week now (last pill on Tuesday), but my period didn't start til Friday (yesterday) morning. My question is, should I still start the new pack on Tuesday as planned (because that would have been a week), or should I let myself have a period for a full week (until Friday) and then go back on the pill? I know this sounds odd, but it's like once my period starts, it refuses to stop again until I go on the pill (last time I tried to tough it out, and ended up with a three week period -_-;;).
Thanks ^_^

I hope that you are getting enough iron? (If you can get a ferritin test, and get your numbers... The low side of "normal" generally means you could use a lot more iron, till you're at least in the middle ranges. I sometimes think "normal" ferritin ranges, on the low side, are just, "Well, this person hasn't passed out from lack of hemoglobin, so it must be okay, right?")
Good luck!
Thanks ^^
