    this is my first time on birth control. the first and second month i had a 4day bleed-through. this month however(third month) its been 11 days and im still spotting. in the begining it was normal spotting, later light blood and now its back to brown discharge. im a little worry i dont think this is normal but i also read that it might be a side effect. ,my boyfriend and i use condoms too because we want to avoid a pregnancy, and we feel more secure using birth control and condoms. help please

    this is normal with the pill.
    i've been on it for almost 10 yrs.
    for instance, i am on a pill that has no withdrawal periods (which is a period you get when you are on the pill). i took a month break from it, never had a normal period. then went back on the pill. a few days into the pack and i am having the worst cramps i have ever had a a light flow.
    pills do weird things man. keep using the condoms till things get more regular.

    when you are on the pill you don't have a "real" period anymore. there is not build up of uterine lining, and no need for a period. when you ar eon the pill, and you go on the week long placebo row, you may or may not have a "withdrawal" period. this is your body's reaction to not getting the hormones from the regular pills.

    when you first start the pill, it may take months to get a regular cycle going, especially if you're young.

    11 days is a long time, but not too alarming. if it doesn't let up within the week you may want to talk to your doctor about a lower does pill. i use loestrin-fe and have no periods ever.

    are you on seasonique? If so, it is the worst BC in regards to bleeding. Ick. I'd recommend something else for sure. I bled for almost a month on that. If not on seasonique, then it's still normal. talk to your gyno if you're too worried, but it happens to a lot of girls.
    Birth control just sucks in general but I guess we all need it. :/
