Mefenemic acid tablet

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Could you please tell which pill are you taking and since how many months?

It is common to have cramping and pain on first day of period, especially in younger women.

So do take mefenemic acid 500 mg tablets which are available over the counter for the cramping.

If this repeats again in next cycle then an ultrasound to rule out the cause should be necessary.

Try taking pills just before bed or at similar times to decrease the chances of forgetting them.

Hope this helps

Sprentic and for about 6 months now but i only take the blue pills not the white sugar pills so this way i will not have my period. What is this exactly?

Brief Answer:
no worries.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

This bleeding is due to excessive usage of continuing hormonal pill.

If you want to avoid your period by contraceptive pill intake, it is advisable that you take the blue pills for three months and then stop for a week and then restart.
This way you will get 4 periods in a year. This is necessary as continuous pill intake can cause break through bleeding like the one you are experiencing now.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
