Taking Jolessa. Heavy Bleeding, No Pain. Should I Wait For Or Go To Doctor?
I've been on Jolessa for over 2 years and for the first time last week I started bleeding excessively, half way through my 3 month pack. At first I continued taking the pill, noticing it would not stop, I stopped taking the pills. But it still has not slowed down at all, I am still going through many heavy pads a day. I have not had any pain or cramps. So I am just worrying since this is the first time this has ever happened and I have been on the pill for over 5 years. I am mostly wondering if I should wait a little longer and see if it resolves itself, or call my OBGYN tomorrow and get an appointment asap.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Better to consult gynecologist once.
Hormonal imbalance may be the cause for your bleeding.
As you stopped the pills in the middle, that withdrawal might have added to the bleeding.
So you consult gynecologist, get examined and take tablets to stop the bleeding.
Go for one ultrasound and if your doctor recommends you can go for hormonal profile including estrogen, progesterone, FSH and LH, thyroid profile etc.
With this workup the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.

Take care.
