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.
so do you its ok if i been having this bleed through for almost 11 days? do you think im going to get my period too? im sorry im just freaking out
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. :/
