Hi Kristy
Of course I don't mind telling you what bcp I'm taking :) Right now I'm
on Demulen, but we are considering trying yet another bcp. None of them
have stopped the breack through bleeding. I went for an mri last week.
The doc. thought he may have a adenemyosis (sp?) on the ultrasound.
That could be the cause of the bleeding. When I'm not on bcp I don't
have a period at all. I think if I had to choose between the two I
would much rather have no period then having my period all the time.
But, my doc says that if the mass he found is a adenemysosis then that
could be causing the pain and bleeding I am experiencing. I wonder if I
would continue bleeding when on no bcp? I haven't been without bcp for
years and this bleeding just started about a 6 months ago. I hope this
helps :)

Michele,

>I hope that you don't mind but I have a question for you. I am on continuous bcp. My dr just put me back on Lo/Ovral to see if it helps my breakthrough bleeding. I'm supposed to use it for 2 months and if that doesn't help me then it's on to something else. Here's my question. What birth control pill do you use?
