Hi aunty eya, good morning
I have a little problem that bothers me.
The last day of my last period was 30th of November so I wasn’t expecting it till 26th this month. But it came on the 14th. That’s two Saturdays ago. Strangely it hasn’t Stopped rushing.
Today is 23rd and I’m still rushing. Making it 10days I have been with this, which is very strange cos usually I’m a 3-5 days period person.
And no I didn’t
perform any self medication abortion or anything of such.
I can’t take this issue to my doctor cos he would probably beat me up lol. Cos I read online that usage of contraceptives could lead to this, and no lies for two months I have been a regular postinor2 user.
I have a child who’s nearly 2years so my doctor has been asking me to come around for the IUD thing but I keep posting him cos I’m scared of it. That’s d major reason I have been using pills.
Pleasee, is there anything I can take to stop This bleeding?? I really do hate this!
And dear God ,doctor and readers I promise not to ever use pills again. Please just help me this one time. Tnx
PS:– I‘m in my 20’s .

Hi K, Good morning, I just published your mail on the blog. Sorry I couldn't update yesterday. You need to see your Doctor cos Postinor2 is an emergency pill that's supposed to be taken only once in about three months I think. He won't kill you, just summon courage and go. If you can drink raw ugu juice, it helps a lot with blood clotting but see your Doc ASAP cos you are losing blood.
You'll be fine.
It's wrong to use emergency pills as contraceptives for long term family planning. If you cannot do Billing's method, go the hospital way.
I second aunty Eya! Awon mama niyen! She haff speak, kindly heed pls! See yah dokita. Take care of ursef abeg.
Doctor, Doctor, Doctor o, abeg o! thats the only solution o, and kindly not go to a mushroom hospital o.
Hi poster,
Postinor 2 and other brands of levonorgestrel are for use as emergency contraception and not to be taken more than once per menstrual cycle (21-35 dys, depending on ur cycle length). There are other pills that r used for contraceptive purposes like the combined oral contraceptives. Apart from the temporary hormonal imbalance wc P2 could cause and wc explains the prolonged bleeding u've had, it also increases the chances of an ectopic pregnancy occuring. If ur scared of IUCDs, ask ur Dr for other family planning methods and u will choose the one that's convenient for u. In the mean time, start on multivitamins, Astyfer syr preferrably and see that Dr ASAP.
Good luck n merry xmas,
Dr Chez
Tnx for your help. But please can you recommend other "safe" contraceptives . Cos my hubby and I plan on having a second baby by next year. So I'm thinking there won't be need for FP before then if I can find a safe contraceptive to keep using till I'm ready to take in. Tnx a lot
Tnx aunty eya for your advice and tnx for posting this… I shall heed everything you adviced. Bless u and your home.
dear poster, please see a gynaecologist. U need to also check ur blood level since u av been bleeding. Meanwhile there r other forms of contraceptives apart from IUCD. Go 2 a family planning clinic n u would b given more information. Btw, there r injectables , n oral pills n even natural methods available.
Other safe contraceptives that I know and use are Duofem or Combination3. It's safe and its promoted by the society for family health. BUT u have to take it everyday at d same time if not it won't work and its very cheap btw N50 and N100 depending on where u it from.
As for ur flow just allow it run its course and it will stop. Your abuse for Ps2 is what is making you bleed this long but fret not cos it will stop.
Cycles changes as we get older but if its really an point of concern see your doctor.
Blessings and Merry Christmas to you and yours. May this season of love be the season that runs through you, your home, your family throughout the year.
peace.
Poster if you are planning on having a baby next year then I suggest you just use condoms until when you are ready for ababy.
I've heard that after coming off all contraceptives it might take a while to conceive. I know some people fall pregnant almost immediately after coming off contraceptives but you don't know how your body will react to it yet.
You don't want to fall in the category of those that might take a while to conceive after stopping contraceptives so I'll just use condoms if I were you coz next year is just round the corner.
Yes o. Dont use pills I used after my second child and hes seven next month n I stil cant get pregs.
Everyday? Like non-stop? Even when I'm not havin sex? I still have to take it?
Some men don't just agree with that,lol n unfortunately my husband is one. Condoms (NO) in our home 🙁
Yes
I keep asking pple why they use Postinor as pills. Its for emergency in d case where u had sex without protection for pregnancy(not STD). I notice lots of married women use as pills, so wrong.
My dear 90% of married men don't agree with condom. My husband one time he used it he was sulking while doing d deed.
Please visit a doctor..taking medical advice over the Internet is at your own risk.
It doesn't mean your inability to get pregnant is a result of the pill you used. There are a variety of other factors. Please don't discourage others.
Dear KT. You sound really lazy and not quite ready to do the needful. None of the suggestions seem good enough for you. You can't have it all. Just weigh the advs and diadvs and pick the best! Else continue with your postinor and harm youself!
I'm not lazy ma.
Saw my doctor briefly today and was asked to be back tomorrow. Tnx to Every1 for d advice(s). .. Bless u all.
Merry Christmas
Do not stress urslf,simply go 4 implant on ur arm,its d best esp if u scared of IUCD
