The thing is, I (like all women in my mum's family) have a very, very irregular cycle. And while i've learned to live with that these past ten years, they're steadily getting heavier and longer--though still not auite as bad as that time I had them for four weeks--and I'm getting worried about the long-term effects. Irregular cycles heighten your risk for osteoperosis, which already runs in the family quite strongly, and frankly I'd like to know what it's like to know when your periods will start and have them only last for three days, for once in my life.
Much as I'd like to get rid of my periods altogether, if it means heightening my risk of getting oseoperosis later on in life, I''ll settle for just lighter and regular periods.
I still had my periods for about 5 days... but I was on a very light pill as well. The reason I quit was because I was starting to lose blood when I ovulated as well. So what's the bloody point. A mini-period and a period all in one month, no thank you. But before that, it worked fine for about three years. And I could've switched to a heavier pill. But I thought I'd see if my periods were still as bad as I remembered them... and they were pretty much the same as with the pill (sometimes horrid, sometimes ok). So, if I were you, I'd go see a doctor, tell them you want birth control and if they get too nosey, tell em you're a dyke and they can stick it up their arse. Or you could put it rather more eloquently too of course.
