Hello,
I have been taking birth control pills for the past 10 years. Six months ago my gyno switched me to Triphasil 28 and I have had no problems since. I started my new pack last Sunday, but my period never stopped like it should. Yesterday I started having cramping, heavy bleeding, and passing clots almost golf-ball size, which has never happened to me before. Today I am still bleeding, cramping and passing clots although not as large. I spoke with my gyno and she recommended I take a pregnancy test, since last month I missed 1 pill (but took it the next day and doubled-up as you are supposed to). Has anyone ever heard of heavy bleeding and clotting while pregnant? I thought the opposite was supposed to happen - no bleeding when pregnant. I am going to take the test but am very nervous and would like some input from others.
Thanks for your support.
