Lana - my OB started me on only 1 tab per day, and then at 2 wks increased to 2. to reduce side effects. I had hardly any.. the most I had was feeling quite thirsty and just feeling a bit off. I didnt' run to the loo at all! It took about 6 weeks for a period to come for me.

Nitzchyia - My period was only missing for 10 months, but when it came it was quite painful, but no where near as heavy as that. In fact I was cursing the OB for reminding me how horrible AF is! hehe. As much I was cheering it was back... I was in agony. My next one was back to normal tho, not as painful.

Has the bleeding gone on for longer than usual? That might be why they want to stop it. If it was only for usual period length I'd be wanting to see what the next period was like. But having said that, GP's know way more than me! so always listen to your dr if you trust them.

Hope you can both get things going soon and good luck with TTC!
