okay, so I've been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo on and off since I was 16 and I am now 23. I have a history of having long painful and heavy periods, the longest period I've had ever in my life was 24 days straight. My doctor diagnosed me with menorrhagia last year. They ran test on me and found NOTHING, no fibroids, cysts, polyps, cancer, endometriosis, nada, zip. My thyroid is normal, I'm not anemic. I've been struggling with these kind of periods since I started having periods at 12. I've been bleeding currently for 3 weeks straight and idk what to do. my doctor recently told me i could skip periods and I tried it once and it worked BUT I ended up having another period from hell while taking the pill. I never missed 1 pill, I take it at the same time everyday and I had a 3 week period. I'm not pregnant and I never miscarried. Any advice ladies ?
