I have no idea...

Hi...
I don't know if anyone has a little bit of medical wisdom they could pass on. Maybe/probably/hopefully I'm overreacting that it's serious.
I'm sexually active and have just recently gone one the pill.. Just finished the first month's packet. My periods are really irregular anyway and light.. always light but now.. it's crazy. Very heavy. Tampon & pad.. 2 Super pads at night, it's like I've regressed to infancy. And the cramps... Not constant but every now and again it'll be really, really achy to almost excruciating. And I'm clotting. Heavily and that's pretty unlike me. I'm a bit scared. The university doctor is booked a week in advance and I'm a bit concerned about looking like a div if I see the emergency doctor for no real reason. Is this normal!?

Thank you.

Hi there

Hey pindolly, I know that starting the pill can lead to changes in your menstual cycle but if the pain is excruciating and you're clotting, I'd definitely book in to see the doctor ASAP. It's probably nothing but you should really get it checked to be sure. Don't be worried about seeing the emergency doctor if that's what you want to do... it's not for no real reason... you're in pain and losing a lot of blood, he/she will understand your concerns. Kat x
