I just started taking Marvelon. My period started on a Saturday and I started taking the pill the next day, Sunday. How long should my period last? It has been 7 days so far (no sign of it slowing down) and usually it lasts 4-5 days. Just wondering what the normal time should be for a period after you start taking the pill and whether this is normal when you start on Marvelon?

I take a different brand of oral contraceptive, but when I first started it my period lasted forever...I had my normal period and then "spot bleeding" which was actually just a consistent period for about 2 weeks (2 weeks past the time it should have ended).

Some women, when they start the pill, have normal periods.
