text: is my period abnormal? please help!? i have been on birth control for about a year and a half. i've had a couple problems with different pills. kariva.. period lasted for almost 2 wks. ovcon-35, terrible cramps and bad headaches. i am now on yasmin. i've been on it since about this past april with no adverse effects.   however, for the past 3 months i've been spotting after my period. i have never had this happen before. this month it's  a little different. i got my period last saturday, 11/18/06. i thought my period was done because i had a little bit of spotting..as normal... and i had just went to the bathroom, noticed a small amount of blood on my underwear, and when i went to clean up, there was a large amount of blood/period on the tp. i don't know if this is normal... i can't call my drs. because no one will be there until next monday. please help! first of all don't panic, i recently had a procedure called a novasure, it  is where they go inside and burn veins, it is new and the dr. said they have had good results with it. my periods were very bad, not irregular, but could last 2 weeks sometimes.  lots of people have irreguar periods. call your dr. mon.
