Can someone explain to me how the endometrial lining of the uterus works?

Ashley Hill, MD: "Re: Can someone explain to me how the endometrial lining of the uterus works?" Reply: Carla: "Re: Can someone explain to me how the endometrial lining of the uterus works?" 2 weeks ago, I saw my doctor and moved from Ortho/Novum 1/35 to Low-Ogestrel-28. The next day I started a very heavy period, which lasted 5 days. 7 days after the end, I started another period. Last night, I was soaking through a pad an hour. I call my doctor's answering service and a doctor called me. She said since I had been taking Ortho/Novum 1/35 back-to-back for over a year and had not had a period in that length of time, that this was just "breakthough bleeding" because of the length of time I had gone without a period. She advised me to stop taking the Low-Ogestrel, if the period lessened by Sunday night I should start taking them again. I though that if you took birth control pills back-to-back then you were controlling the hormones to the point that the endometrial lining couldn't get built up in the uterus. I got the impression that I have over a year's worth of lining built up in my uterus. Is that true? Does that mean that I'll be bleeding like this, on and off, for months? Why does the bleeding stop and start? Can someone just explain how the lining works? I thought I was educated about my reproductive system, but I am totally baffled about all this stuff. Thank you for any replies. Next message: Kelly Shanahan, MD: "Re: cyst recurrence and periods.." Previous message: Kelly Shanahan, MD: "Re: adhesions" Next in thread: D.
