I was on Tri-cyclen, or the generic Mononessa. Whe I started bleeding
they gave me a vaginal insert of estrogen to supplement, which didn't
work at all. At the end of January I switched to Low-Ogestrel, and I'm
still bleeding. I just called my doctors office to see if they could
put me on something else, and they said they like to wait 3 months for
your body to adjust. It's line having a period for 4 months!! It's so
annoying!! The other day I had cramps so bad I left work and went to bed
at 5 p.m. What a life!!
