Hi Jess, your doc doesn't some that sympathetic (must be a man! 8-[ ). Not sure about your timing, but for me I had my lap then I had what I thought was my period (and my doc told me that it would be my period) but then I had my real period when it was due, a couple of weeks later. So my first 'period' was just bleeding from the lap. Could that be the case for you?

You could consider missing your sugar pills and doing a back-to-back with active pills, if you're so sick of having periods. Just a thought.
