One thing I should mention is that as of today, I am still having
'breakthrough bleeding'. I started contraceptive pills (yaz) on Feb.
23rd and completed 2 full weeks. I had to stop taking them as the side
effects were horrible; I Technically my period should have ended last
weekend, but I'm still having light bleeding; Do you suspect that the
bleeding may be withdrawl from the pills or could it be related to
something else, due to the black sticky discharge I was having several
weeks ago. This has all been going on since Feb. 22nd...went from
black sticky discharge, to a period, to breakthrough bleeding. Also,
what tests should they be running on me and at what time during my
cycles should they be doing them? They've already run a TSH test on me
and seem to think that was/is sufficient.
