Pregnancy - Rochester,NY
Hello im 18 years old. I have been producing breast milk for one month in both breasts. And i took a pregnancy test a month ago and it came back negative. For the past two months my period has been on and off every other week, so every other week my period is on again. The blood discharge is in big clumps, really heavy. And having weird stomach pains, like craps! Do you think i am pregnant??? Or something is wrong with me?
I saw a doctor a month ago about it and she says it may be my old birth control. But i stop taking my birth control in december, and now its may. Should took blood, but never called me back with any details. Should my period be that irregular and its been four months??? What you think i should do?

Dear J., I think you should see another doctor. I do not like the sound of bleeding in big clumps. If you tell the doctor everything he may be able to help you. Grandma Mary

Find a new GYN and go in for a check! Your doctor should have called you back a month ago and if your still having trouble go back (to another doctor)

Find another doctor. This does not sound normal and you must be feeling awful. Results from blood tests do not take long to come in and you have the right to call back and ask the doctor if he or she does not call you. I hope you find an answer and feel better soon!

To me it sounds like you were pregnant and now you're miscarrying. See a different doctor. There's something wrong.

I agree with the below. You need to go see another doctor as soon as you can.

I think your hormones are out of whack from whatever BC you were using. I was on depo provera (the shot) and while most people get reduced or no periods with it, I got mine continuously. Just stopping the shots did not help. Months later I went on the pill and got my system regulated again, went off a few months later and have been fine ever since (about 5 years now). I would assume any type of hormonal BC, especially ones that alter the normal menstrual cycle (seasonal, nuva ring, depo, etc.), can mess your cycle up. I would try the pill for a few months (even if that was the BC you were on - try a different formula, and make sure it's a monthly one, not one that skips periods), and see if you can get everything back to normal.
Also, make sure your dr knows that you are having nipple discharge.
I would call and set up a new appointment, say you want to discuss the test results from the last one, and that you are still having all the same problems and you want to do something to try to get your cycle under control.
Good luck

I would probably want to call the dr's office and just schedule another appt - at that time you can discuss the results from the bloodwork & see where you go from here. Good luck!
