Ok guys I've been on bc for a month and my period has started a week ago and has not stopped and has been really heavy. Has this happened to anyone and does it get better?

It can take a few cycles after starting (or stopping) the pill for your body to get accustomed to the new hormones.Some women have longer periods and heavier periods after first starting birth control.One pill I was on caused me to have 2 periods each month for the first 3 months I was on it before my body settled down to just 1 period each month.good luck
