Recent years symptoms and conditions

I was put on Loestrin 24 a year ago after I told my Dr. that I was getting more and more migraines every month during my period. (I've had them since I was a kid, now 27, but they were beginning to come more and more frequently in recent years and most often during my period.) The pill seemed to be working like magic, my migraines lessened more and more and I was experiencing less mood swings and depression than I'd had in the past near my period. My periods have been 3 days tops and very light. I thought I had found my miracle BC and felt like the $60.99 I've been paying every month (no Ins!) was well worth it. WELL.... this month is a totally different story. I got period on Monday, when I was supposed to, and I still have it today, Saturday. I have never in my life had a 6 day period until now...esp since Im on this "3-day period" pill. Mon-Wed was the same as it's been for the past yr, light and a breeze as far as periods go. Wed night I had practically no bleeding and thought my period was at it's end, like always. Well I woke up Thurs around 3 am covered in blood. I then went to the bathroom and proceeded to "gush" blood for lack of a better term. I've never experienced such a heavy flow. I've been wearing a tampon AND a pad for the past 3 days now because I'm soaking thru tampons and leaking A LOT onto pads. I hadn't experienced any pain until today (day 6!@!@#!@!) and can't believe I'm still bleeding and so heavily! I did call my Dr. just yesterday and explained my situation and how abnormal this all is for me and was told to continue taking my pills as directed and "see what happens" next month! If I'm still bleeding like this tomorrow, the 7th day, then I seriously think I'm going to go to the ER. I'm freaking out and can't understand what in the world is happening to me out of the blue. I've had normal, regular periods ever since I started menstruating at age 11... 16 yrs ago! Has anyone else gone through anything like this????

I was diagnosed with PCOS (based only my medical history). My hair has been thinning in recent years, and my doctor said Yasmin was an antiandrogen and would reverse my thinning hair, but I've been on it for two months and it's only getting thinner. Has anyone with PCOS had luck getting their hair to grow again?? I'm afraid to quit the Yasmin but also afraid to keep taking it.

I am a 55 yr old female that has battled with asthma my whole life. In the more recent years, it seems to be more related to allergies, than the earlier years when I was more affected by temp changes and activity. I have used a form of albuterol in inhalers for years to control it. About 5 years ago my doctor put me on Serevent and Flovent. Last year he changed me to Advair saying it was the combo of the two of them. I have gained a lot of upper body weight in the last 5 years. I have never had a weight problem until now and can't seem to lose it. I have also developed high blood pressure and have to take meds for that and for "water weight", and joint pain and have to take meds for that. I stumbled onto this forum and it has been a real eye opener. I realize that some of this is due to my age and body changes but I now wonder how much has to do with the medications, particularly Advair. I wonder if I can drop the weight - and therefore lower my blood pressure and cholesterol and maybe lessen my joint pain if I stop the Advair? Has anyone experienced anything like this. My asthma was pretty controllable prior to Advair - Thanks for any info you may have.
