Hi.

I've been on birth control for a month. My period before that was usually for 3-4 days and pretty light. Since I bagan this months cycle I have been on since last Friday evening and everyday has been heavy!!! I'm going to see my doctor Friday because I have a physical but this is freaky. I feel really weak and I think it's taking a toll on my body. Has this happened to anyone??


Thanks.

Hi shoegal04, welcome back!

During the first 3 or 4 cycles your period will be changing as your body adjusts to the hormones in your pills. Often pill periods (actually withdrawal bleeding) are shorter and lighter than when you are cycling naturally, but not always. Perhaps yours will end up that way too, after several cycles, or perhaps not. After a few cycles if it still seems as though your periods will be long and heavy on your current method you might want to try something else. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
