I started my birth control the Sunday after my period .. about 25 days ago now... I am STILL on my period and it will now stop. Mind you, it is the generic brand of a different kind. So now I am going to start the brand name kind after the sugar pills of the original is gone. My question is ... WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?
What you are experiencing is not exactly the common side effect of starting birth control pills, but it definitely is one that does happen, simply because not all women are the same. Most women on birth control pills will experience spotting, that is because hormones that birth control pills contain are the same hormones our body uses to change uterine tissue during each menstrual cycle. It seems to me that this particular kind of birth control pills is unsuitable for you, but there are lot of other options.
