I have been on the pill for a couple of years because my periods have been really heavy and really painful. Infact, the were painful for a week and a half before my period, painful the week during my period and painful the week and a half after my period - so now i'm not thinking it was my period that was painful, just the IBD problems!
Anywho, i've been taking the pill for a couple of years but these last few months i've been bleeding every two weeks. I've just come on now (I shouldn't be on at the moment) and two weeks ago after my last period, I stopped taking the pill. It wasn't doing me any favours and obviously wasn't working. It worked to begin with but last several months it hasn't done anything. I'm still very heavy and the pain is still there - but as my theory above suggests, it's probably just the IBD.
But I was wondering why i'm on every two weeks. I'm 16, nearly 17 so it's definately not the menopause as google is suggesting! I was thinking it could be stress. Could it be linked to the IBD. One site said having a period every two weeks can be caused my IBD. So I thought i'd ask the experts
And the period every two weeks it the same heavyness and same length of time. It's not like every four weeks I get my 'normal' period and then the two weeks in between it's ligher - it's not lol
