Prolonged period - Best Yahoo Answer

Long period concern, help?
Right, I started my period last Thursday and so this Thursday - still on - makes it 8 days.

I'm usually 7 days the longest and 5 days the shortest.

I started the birth control pill - my first time ever - on Friday, second day of my period.

My period seemed off on Saturday, then appeared on Sunday stayed till Tuesday, disappeared on Wednesday and then appeared again today.

It's driving me mad. I've even gone to bed with nothing on bottom fine thinking its over - but no.

Is this anything to do with the pill? Or am I just lasting a bit longer than usual?

I've gone on a diet also since Saturday - I'm considering stopping it for now because prolonged period and less calories don't seem like a good combo at the moment.

Please help.

In most women, the first time they use the contraceptive pill, there may be abnormality in the menstrual cycle with spotting or excess bleeding because of the sudden change of female hormones in the body.

Sometimes the dosage of the contraceptive pill may not be suitable for the person.

If you are uncomfortable with the contraceptive pill, it is best to stop it.

when your eye is hit by a ball, the eyelids and the tissues around the eye are injured resulting damage to walls of the cells releasing the fluid from the cells.
This will cause swelling in the tissues surrounding the eye.

If a blood vessel is damaged blood may exude from the blood vessel causing a blood clot and swelling.

You can put a cold compress on the eye which should shrink the blood vessel and reduce the swelling.

In most cases swelling of the tissues of the eye will subside within 5 days.

Blood clots may take longer to subside.
