Ok my fellow OB gyne’s....

My real gyne has put me on the pill (estelle) with instructions to take it at the same time everyday (which i'm doing well), and only to take the active pills.

So I started last Sunday so I am on CD10 today. AF finished on CD6 and on CD 8,9 and 10 I have had heaving spotting (enough for a tampon) and big (well not that big but still noticable I would say the size of the new 50c piece) clots.

Is this normal for the pill?? or should I ring my gyne do my nut and get off the pill ASAP?? Coz i'm taking it not to bleed and to turn my ovaries off and i'm still bleeding

I've taken the pill back to back a few times and still had break through bleeding (not everytime though). I don't like the sound of the clots though, do you normally get those? If you normally get them with a period then I would say it wasn't anything to worry about, I would also give you body a few months to settle down rather than expecting an instant result from it.

You aren't meant to have breakthrough bleeding, I would go back to your Doc and get a different one.

I got spotting on my pill when I skipped the sugar pills, but not clots. I'd give him a call just to make sure its ok. I'd say it would probably take a few cycles to stop the bleeding if you have been bleeding heaps.

I went into my dr's today as I had to take in Josh's ACC form for his nose and I spoke with the nurse about the bleeding and she got the head nurse who knows more about it and I sat down and spoke to her about it and she read the letter Dr Grant and was like hmmm.

Sent through a message to my gp and he came out and had a talk with me about it. He was like it shouldn't be happening and as he knew DH is coming home tonight so he has given me a script for progesterone (a high dose too) and told to take the pill and the progesterone and that should hopefully stop any bleeding.

He also told me to go to Dr Grant's specialist centre and go and let him know what it is doing to me. he was in surgery when I got there and his nurse wasn't there so the admin lady wrote an email and was hoping to catch Dr Grant before he left to do his public work to let him know.

The clots are probably because of too much estrogen, I have far too much in me as it is without giving me more with the pill and not enough progresterone to stop the bleeding.

So my body is screwed even my GP said he can't wait for it all to be taken out so all my problems will hopefully dissapear.

yep my GP is totally on to it, he is the best GP I have ever had. I told him he's not allowed to leave Palmy at all, especially to go back home.

Glad your Gp is onto it Becks.
