I began taking the continuous birth control Amethyst 2 months ago. I started taking it in the middle of my cycle, while I was ovulating. My doctor said this quick start method would be fine as I am not sexually active and am taking it solely to get rid of my painful periods. The first month I had no side effects at all. On the first day of the second month I began spotting and it turned into light breakthrough bleeding that lasted for the next 4 weeks. I became pretty annoyed so I stopped taking the pills for 2 days. Dumb idea..I know. I changed my mind on the 2nd night when I started having cramps and decided to start taking them again. The pill insert says to take 2 pills for the next 2 days to make up for the ones I missed. So I took one immediately and took another one 12 hours later. I have been bleeding heavily for the past 3-4 hours and I passed 2 large clots that contain a large amount of white fleshy tissue. Each of these clots was approximately the size of a golf ball. I ve never had sex so it can t be a miscarriage. I believe this is probably the uterine lining since I have skipped my period for 2 months.What I really want to know is how to get back on schedule with my pills and if the tissue I m passing is cause for concern. Do I take another 2 pills tomorrow, then go back to taking one each day? Should I stop taking the pills and restart them at a later date? Thanks in advance!
