i am 22 years old and have been taking birth control pills for the past 6 months. i was on one for 2 months then changed to another and was on it for 1 month. i started taking ovcon and am on the third month of it. i like it more than the other two. i had my regular period last month at the normal time but it lasted longer than usual...about 11 days. it finally stopped and about 9 days after that it was like i started my period again. i had the cramps and back pain like i normally do and all. it will stop and start on a daily basis. it's not as heavy as my normal period but it's enough blood to have to wear a tampon. this has been going on for about 3 1/2 weeks. i'm not sure what it is. i have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend but stopped once this started. i haven't seen an obgyn yet. i'm a little nervous. has this happened to anyone and what were your results?
I had my DEPO shot at the end of May and a week after the shot I have been constantly bleeding. At times just spoting but when it's my regular period time I bleed normally. The shot is supposed to last 3 months then taken again. Thankfully I only did one shot and hopefully the spotting will stop and I stop gaining weight, being angry all the time, hot flashes, no sex drive etc... it's horrible!!

I had irregular bleeding when I was 22. I ran the battery of tests for STDs and was diagnosed with chlamydia. Antibiotics clear this and the partner (s) must be treated. I discovered my husband was having sex with someone other than me.

I am having almost the same exact problem that you are (or were). Have you gotten any help with it?
I just visited an OBGYN today and he pretty much just shoved more pills on me and told me nothing was wrong. I feel like something IS wrong. I feel like I need to be seen and fully checked out.
What are some possible causes of this problem!?
