Hi,

   I've been on Generess Fe for 9 months now and I have PCOS. When I first started taking the pill I had breakthrough bleeding every two weeks, it was light and only lasted a day or two with no cramping. I was told that is normal and would occur for the first few months. It never went away. There would be an occasional month without breakthrough bleeding and I would get bleeding only with the placebo pills, but it didn't happen often. For the last two months I've been getting a period every other week. It is heavy, lasts upward of 5 days and comes with terrible cramps. 

    My doctor is still telling me this is normal, but I feel differently. I'm beginning to feel fatigued and dizzy, I think due to the blood loss. Other than bleeding at random times I have no other complaints with this pill. Is this something I should worry about? Is this much irregularity really normal on the pill?
