Ovulation - Menopause Message Board

Okay, I'm back on this part of the board because my body is acting weird again... peri-menopause.

I missed the day when I can start my pill again, so this month is out for the BCP. However, about 2-3 days after my last period, I start ovulating! Does anybody else have this? Then my period starts again in 2 weeks! UGH!

I'm getting back on the pill so my cycle can be regulated. I hate this part of "the changes".

BIG SIGH.

Anybody with similar symptoms or answer to this would be greatly appreciated.

I just started the BCP. I started in the middle of my cycle and will continue to take them for a couple of months. I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow which is the day I should be getting my period. So, hopefully I won't get it because I'm taking the pill. My dr. told me that I could just take them continuously so I don't get my period. Maybe you should speak to your dr. to see how he/she feels about just going on them now. Why wait?

Can either of you tell me if your doctor put you on BCP mainly for regulating your periods. I was having early ones and inbetween bleeding and my doctor prescribe estrace not a BCP. I just wonder why some get one or the other.

Hi Linda,

Yep, my doctor put me on BCP because my period was coming every 12 to 15 days... yuck... I hate it and I've always been regular. But last year, that all changed. UGH.

BTW, what's estrace? What is it supposed to do?
