Bleeding while on BC

Hi all! Note—I’m not seeking medical advice! I’m already in touch with my gyn’s office.

I have several (7?) small fibroids. At least they were small last summer. Lol. However, I was having symptoms. I was interested in trying a fibroid embolization procedure (Sonata?) but my gyn said the fibroids were too small. She instead suggested BC to help manage symptoms. So I’ve been in Blisovi for many months and it has mostly been great!

My “periods” have been way lighter or non-existent. My symptoms all around are improved. I’m in my late 40s and the estrogen has helped my perimenopause symptoms as well.

So I was 2 weeks into my current pack and I start spotting. Like pre-period spotting (it’s always been a thing for me). Then I actually start bleeding. And pretty heavy at that—like not heavy but way heavier than I have had since starting on the pill. And minor cramping. It’s definitely like a normal period.

My gyn recommends doubling up on my pills until it stops.

Anyone with similar experience? How did doubling up on the pill work out for you?

I’m due for a follow up ultrasound in March to make sure the pill isn’t causing more growth.

Thanks!
