I have had heavy periods since I first started them, a few years ago I went on the pill to help them but the pill made them worse so my Dr changed my pill. I am now on Loestrin 30 and have been for about 2 years. This pill did lighten my periods slightly and regulated them so they come every 28 days but they were still quite heavy and very painful the first 2 days.
For about the past 5 months though I have had really really light periods suddenly for no reason. The pain is there on the day I am due to start then when I have started it goes away to nothing or barely a thing which isn't normal for me as even on the pill I am usually in a lot of pain for the first 2 days and very heavy (I usually take the full 8 cocodomol for 2 days). The other thing that has changed is my PMS has got worse even though my periods have got better.
Nothing has changed other than I am taking a B Complex because of my periods but they shouldn't change things that much. I am on antidepressants (less than 2 weeks in). I know depression and stress can change your periods but I was diagnosed with that the first time about 4 years ago so don't think it's that.
I am just really worried I could be starting the menopause. I have just turned 31 and have no kids yet so I really hope it's not that. I did a home test for menopause and it says I am ok but it does say it can give a false negative if on the pill which I am so I don't trust it. Also no chance at all I can be pregnant.
Should I be worried?
