So I have PCOS, which led to insulin resistance [it's like having diabetes but it goes away in time]
and my doctor put me on this birth control called portia.
and before I got on birth control I was really irregular and had a couple pregnancy scares because of that!
so I was relieved to get on birth control.
but when I got to the placebo pills in my first pack,
I went to sleep without an overnight pad because I usually don't bleed in my sleep.
But I woke up at 5 in the morning and felt like my butt had been sweating,
so I stood up to change my shorts when I reliezed I was bleeding WAY more than normal!
and then that day at school I bleed through my jeans and had to go home.
then I started wearing overnight pads and when I'd go to change them I'd see some clots in there.
and some of them got to about the size of a nickle.
And now I'm on my 3rd pack of birth control (currently on the placebo's)
and I'm still having the same problem!
I don't even buy tampons anymore.
I just get a couple packs of overnighters!
but today something different happened,
I got really dizzy.
and I thought it was just my blood sugar,
so I checked it, and it was fine.
So I sat and thought about it and then I finally reliezed,
Man I think I'm losing too much blood!
But I'm still scared.
I don't know if it's normal.
so I could use all the advice I can get!
