Periods longer than normal?

[LindaS]

This month, instead of my normal period, I've had the non-stop, never go away period. It started normal, which for me is 1-2 days heavy bleeding, then 1-2 days moderate bleeding and finally 1-2 days spotting for a usual of 5 days in all. However this month, after a day of heavy bleeding, it went to spotting for 2 days, then moderate flow for 3 days, then to spotting, then it stopped for a day, then back to heavy bleeding, and now it has been spotting. I am on Entorcort, which I recently tapered from 3 pills to 2 pills, and Humira, which I've been on for over a year.

Has anyone had this issue? Is it related to the entocort or the tapering? If this doesn't stop soon, I'll go to my OB/GYN, but I am just curious if anyone has had this as a side effect of their CD meds.

Entocort never messed with that (and I never tapered off of it either cause its not like Prednisone). Have you changed birth control methods recently? Could you be pregnant? I'd contact my ob/gyn anyway even if it does stop.
