Question
I started taking the Pill almost two months ago, but I was having pregnancy like symtoms so I stopped taking it after the first month. I had remembered why I stopped taking it a few years ago. Since I stopped I have been having an extremely heavy mentsrual flow nonstop now, going on a month and a half straight. Should I be worried? Also.. I had a misscarraige three months ago, could this have something to do with it? Thanks

Answer
Hi,
I emailed you back on Dec. 9th and haven't heard back from you. Did you receive the below email? Let me know.

Hello Jo,
Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so I would urge you to get an appointment at your physician or at least call and ask about this. I would be conerend about having your period that long. It could be dangerous and you could suffer from anemia. I don't know what to say about the miscarriage-if that would have anything to do with this situation. So once again, please check with your doctor. So you didn't really explain why you had stopped taking it a few years ago. Did you have side effects? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know. I'm interested.
Thanks.
