Okay so I just started on ortho tri cyclen a few months ago. well I was taking it as instructed and everything was fine. well last month I decided to skip that pillless week and just started up the new pack as soon as the old pack was gone to try and skip out on my "period" or withdrawl bleeding that week. Well the first week went according to plan but the second week (last week) I started my period monday and it has been really heavy since then. I stopped taking my pills this week in attempt to stop the bleeding but it is still going heavy as ever (im changing the extra absorbant tampons like every 3-4 hours) I know you guys arent doctors and I do plan on calling my gyno tomorrow Im just kind of worried right now because I dont know if this is some side affect on not taking the pill correctly or if its something else that maybe more serious. Any answers would be much appreciated from anyone who has had something like this or has an idea what it is. Just to ease my mind for tonight.
