Hi

I’m on the pill back to back and had a period early jan but have had another period and it’s the third week now. Quite low level bleeding but constant. Also have rectal bleeding but so much pain generally and not sleeping.

Have just got transemix acid but can only take four days and so far not totally working.

Any advice welcome.

I am really sorry you are experiencing that... My last period on the back to back pill lasted 4 months and that's where I drew the line. I was really miserable at that point and I couldn't take it any longer. I refused to take hormones at this point. Periods came back to normal within a couple of months. Lifestyle changes made it for me - I am feeling a lot better, my periods are manageable and I am totally drug free now. It took a while to adjust to the new life, but I wouldn't come back.

Have you tried any lifestyle changes?
