crazy periods/ECP/birth control

[yeuxverts.livejournal.com]

okay, here's my history:

I'd been on HBC for about 6 years and went off it in December. Had normal periods Dec, Jan, Feb, March. Had a condom issue on March 26 and had to take ECP, so I decided it wasn't worth the stress and decided to go back on HBC. My period started on March 31 (due to the ECP) so I went ahead and started the HBC that sunday (April 2) even though I knew it would restart my cycle. So last Monday is the day I should have started my period had I stayed on my regular cycle. I had spotting Mon-Thurs but no big deal and I figured that was pretty normal. This past weekend I had a ton of crazy rough sex and was bleeding on Sunday but it wasn't much and it was fresh, not like period blood, so I figured it was the sex. I spotted a little yesterday and it seemed to taper off last night. I left my divacup in today anyway just in case, and I went to the bathroom just now and it ws full! Definitely of period type blood. And I am getting crampy. What's the deal? Shouldn't the birth control be helping in this area? Did I make a huge mistake in starting the birth control after my "fake" ECP period and trying to reset my cycle? This is really frustrating cause I feel like I have been bleeding forever. What do you think is going on?

I think your cycle is just out of whack from the combo of ECP and BCP. You didn't make a mistake... you just need to hang in there for a bit until your cycle conforms to the pill cycle. It can take a couple of months or so for it to sync up.
