"i was placed on minastrin 24 fe after i complained about horrible 5-7 day periods, a week off, then 4 days of spotting that has been happening for 14 months. my doc said this would stop the 2nd spotting period i had every month. she also signed me up for a pelvic ultrasond. well since i have been on the pill i have had a whole month of bleeding, not spotting. i&#039;m exhausted and can&#039;t even go to work till 10am now cause the bleeding is soooo bad from 5am to 9am. now i will say they did find a rather large polyp on my utereus during the ultrasound so i will have it surgically removed next week... so maybe the intense bleeding is a combo of the low dose estrogen and polyp. i just hate that the bleeding was so intense as soon as iistarted this pill."
