Is it the birth control

Unread post by avi13 »

Hi

Please somebody help me with this one

I have been experiencing brown discharge a week after period for the last 5 months

for the last 2 months the Friday before my period starts which is a Tuesday every month, I have a little bleeding when I pee and then stops

iv been to the doctor numerous time and she says that its an infection and gives me antibiotics, which don't help.

I went to my dermatologist this week and she says its my ovaris and hormone imbalance and that I should stop the pill.

I haven't had sex in more than 2 years, but have been fingered a month back

what could this be please help anybody??

Hi avi13,

Have you been to the doctor for a follow-up to tell them that the antibiotics aren't working? And, I have to say, I would ask them if it could be a side effect of your birth control rather than asking the dermatologist (as the reproductive system is not their specialty)

Too, some people will have darker discharge around their period. You can read more about that here: Honorably Discharged: A Guide to Vaginal Secretions
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

Again, this is something to talk about with your doctor, because we can't diagnose people over the internet.
