Unexpected Heavy Bleeding After Birth Control & Subsequent Pregnancy Concerns


Question
I was on the pill for about 4 years..had a perfect 28 day normal cycle. Well when starting a new pack..about 3 pills into the pack i started bleeding super super heavy..tons of clots..ect. Well I called my doctor and he asked how I felt was i in any pain, I said no, so he told me to just stop taking them and come the next month to be put on something else. Well I stopped taking it. And the bleeding lasted like 5 days, non stop super heavy. Well 2 days after it stopped I had sex. And then around the 13th and 15th 16th 17th. Well when it was time for me to go in to the doc he said I was pregnant..a very early pregnancy. But based on my lmp vs my ultrasound it was way off. So do you think I got pregnant on the pill? Or what do you think the bleeding was..My doctor doesnt know...nor does he have an idea..

Also. My lmp was on August 28th 2008
My Dues date is June 15th

The dates dont match at all.

ALSO do you think I may have been pregnant before the bleeding? Or would that have made the baby date later then eariler??


Answer
Dear Brie,

You're right--your dates are somewhat off. The pregnancy calendar shows that the first day of your last period should have been around Sept. 8,2008. OH WOW-that is about right. That's only a little bit over a week different. So probably that is about right.

I don't understand when you said the bleeding was. If your doctor doesn't know, I certainly can't say as I am not a medical professional. I recommend that you take good care of yourself. Get a good doctor and get regular checkups. Eat right and I hope everything goes good. Would you like to join an online support group?
