Hi,
I have been taking the birth control Mononessa for the past five months, but I have been skipping the placebo pills and just moving right onto the next pack because I have such bad cramps during my period. However, I have still been getting my period even though I take the pill everyday, and I also have this pretty constant pain in my abdomen, like right where my ovaries and uterus are. it's a sharp, achey pain that happens at least everyday for awhile. I'm worried it could be an ovarian cyst or endometriosis.
I've made an appointment with the doctor, but I am away at college right now and can't see her until Christmas. Does anyone have know if what I'm experiencing is normal or not?

Did you ever find out what was causing this? I have been on mononessa for a few years and have skipped periods with no problem before but now when i skipped i have been getting cramps and brown spotting and have no idea what is going on

Hi. I’m on this forum because I’m experiencing exactly this. I was hoping for answers. I go in a few days for a colposcopy because I had abnormal paps. This will be my second skipped period- the first one didn’t give me issues but the week before my second period, I started having spotting and discomfort by my ovaries and lower abdomen. No clue what it could be. My doctor says it’s likely from skipping and it’s just spotting but the discomfort/pain is concerning.

Hello, guest.
Some possible reasons for your symptoms could include:
1. Hormonal changes: Skipping placebo birth control pills can cause hormonal fluctuations, leading to irregular bleeding and spotting.
2. Ovarian cysts: Cysts can form on the ovaries and cause discomfort or pain.
3. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): An infection in the reproductive organs can lead to pain and discomfort.
4. Endometriosis: A condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and sometimes irregular bleeding.
5. Uterine fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that may cause pain and abnormal bleeding.
6. Cervical or vaginal infections: Infections can cause spotting and discomfort.
Given your history of abnormal Pap smears and the upcoming colposcopy, it's also essential to consider any potential cervical issues that may be contributing to your symptoms.
During your colposcopy appointment, don't hesitate to discuss your recent symptoms with your doctor. They can provide you with the most accurate information and advice based on your specific situation.
