Bleeding?
| Mon, 08-02-2004 - 12:07pm |
Hello. I posted here a few weeks ago becuase I was wondering about the effects of BC pills, I have never been on them before. Now Im back, I started taking Ortho-tryclyn Lo about 3 weeks ago. Im not due for my period for another week, but Friday I noticed a little blood on my pantyliner. Saturday it was a little heavier, yesterday and today its very heavy. The blood seems more red and runnier than my regular period blood. I've heard you can bleed in between periods, but how much is too much and how long will it last? Is it possible I could have started my period earlier? Im also concerned because I found out I am anemic. I gave birth to my duaghter 3 months ago and I started to hemerage because of it. The pill couldn't cause me to hemerage again, could it? I appreiciate any info you can give me. Thanks!

You are experiencing breakthrough bleeding. This is normal for the first 1-3 months after you begin taking BCPs. It will probably not end until you get your period this month, and should hopefully stop or be less next month. If after 3 months, you are still experiencing this, then call your doctor. You might need something stronger.
