Still Bleeding, Can I Start My Birth Control Pill?

I ve been dealing with menorrhagia for about a month and a half. My obgyn prescribed 10 days of progesterone to get the bleeding to stop. Once it stopped I am suppose to go on Lo Loestrin Fe. I take my last progesterone pill tomorrow but the bleeding hasn t stopped. Should I begin the birth control anyway? I am a 23 year old with PCOS and hypothyroidism.

Hi, I think you should consult your doctor first. As your bleeding has not stopped, you will need a higher dose of hormones to stop it. After it stops, you can start the contraceptive pill. Hope I have answered your question.
