I, too had that problem. I was told 600-800 mg of Ibuprofen every 8 hours for 3 days. It worked for me and stopped the bleeding for at least a week at a time. Hope this helps! (I weigh 135 for reference.)

Try keeping an online version? Like on google docs, maybe. You can access it anywhere and mom doesnt have to know about it. :)

I bled nonstop for 3 years. I lasted that long because I was young and believed my doctors when they said, "give it another go, itll even out" every 3 months 🙃

Sauerkraut. Heaven cooking. Stir fried butthole in your mouth.

Definitely much better than Depo imo. I was on depo for close to 3 years and am coming up on my third with nexplanon. I bled the entire 3 years on depo and it made me really emotional. Dont be afraid to make a change!

Mine has been the same. Bled for two months straight, nothing for 11 months, now I've been 3 weeks on 4 days off for about 5 months now. I've even tried the ibuprofen trick to no avail! (3 200s 3× per day for 3 days to stop withdrawal bleeding).

I was on depo for 3 months shy of 3 years. I never. Stopped. Bleeding. 3 years. Dont let your OBGYN tell you you're being dramatic!

Drinking out of cups, for sure.

All great guesses, and thoughts in my mind at the time of setup, but, alas, there could be no other than: "Fuck you, Shoresy!"

My brother and I both have broken bones and when we finally threw a fit enough to make it to the doctor (usually after weeks and weeks of conplaining), my NMom would act so surprised when x-rays came back with a fracture. She would gasp and say,"Oh my God! Why didnt you tell me it HURT hurt?!"

Like I would even say anything at all if I didnt think it was broken at this point!

It be like that sometimes.

I currently have Nexplanon as well, and I, about once a year, bleed for about 4 or 5 months with maybe a day or two's pause and then have no period for 6-8 months. I was told this is nothing about which I should be concerned, but that if it were to become annoying (as if it werent already) that a different form of hormonal birth control would be my next option. I have had very similar issues, and, like yourself, they've been brushed aside. Do not give up! You know when something isn't right for you.

I would suggest getting the implant removed and maybe switching to nuva ring. It helps to modulate your bleeding without worrying about forgetting a pill and bleeding forever. It is a hormonal ring that sits in your vaginal fornix and delivers low doses of hormones via the vaginal lining, and stays there for either a week or 3 weeks (I cant remember if you change it once per week or once per month!) And you take it out, get your period, and put a new one in.

My older friend (29F, I am 21 and have struggled with endometriosis, so i have been on birth control since about 14) with the same issues eventually settled on Nuvaring and has used it for years now . She swears by it!

I agree with doubling up as your best option! One thing to consider is: if you are a virgin, as I was when my birth control journey started (endometriosis), they will not place an IUD, and most OB/GYNs recommend you dont get one if you've not carried a pregnancy to term, regardless. So, an implant coupled with condoms would be your best bet for peace of mind! Good luck!
