 It is not that unusual to have problems with your cycles when you are using hormonal contraception. However, it is very important that you see your doctor. You should consider using non-hormonal methods (a discussion with a family planning nurse or GP would identify something suitable). You need a blood test to check your iron levels as prolonged bleeding may leave you at risk of anaemia. The key is not to panic - just see a GP as soon as you can to put an end to your suffering!
