-i’m on kurvelo which is a combination birth control pill and i’ve been taking it for four years. -i have PCOS and have multiple cysts on my ovaries (last ultrasound was about two years ago though). -i often skip my period each month and go straight into the next pack, as recommended by my gyno. i’ve been doing this for two years now and have had zero issues. (every now and then i will still have a full cycle though)
everyone who is on a birth control pill has missed it at some point. it happens. every time i’ve missed my pill, i typically start my period not long after. it only lasts for about a day and a half since i continue to take my pill like normal.
last week i missed a day on my pill. i brushed it off and thought “no biggie” and expected some bleeding to happen soon. however, about two days go by and i didn’t start my period. i honestly didn’t think too much of it until i started having light cramps yesterday, accompanied by chunky brown discharge (sorry… kinda gross). the “light cramps” have become pretty intense today. i don’t remember the last time ive had cramps this bad. i’m really bloated and my pelvis/lower back is achey. i have zero actual period blood, though.
now, i already know that brown discharge is dried blood. but because of how intense my cramps are and the fact i have no actual red period blood, im starting to think this might be PCOS related? is it possible these are symptoms of a ovarian cyst rupture? or is it just the effects of missing my pill and my period being delayed?
