Not a doc but........What kinds of tests have they been running on your
wife? Do you have a copy of the results? You should be able to request a
copy from the doctor. How old is your wife now? Do they have a
diagnosis for her? Has she been to another doctor to get a second
opinion or been to a reproductive endocronologist? I may be missing
something, but her period should come when she is off the pills, that is
normal. Is the problem that she keeps bleeding and has a never-ending
period when she is off the pills?
