Hi,
I'm 16 years old and this is my second month of taking birth control (Alesse) I have had a large amount of problems with this birth control, like breast tenderness, fatigue, mood swings worse than normal, nausea and vomiting and migraines. I recently went to my doctor to get a new prescription but can't start until my period comes on Thursday. My concern is that ever since Friday, my vagina has been bleeding. (I did miss a pill and take two in one day) At first the bleeding was very little but now it's becoming larger and it's the 3rd day and considering I don't get my period until Thursday or Friday I am quite concerned. I'm also concerned because I'm now getting quite intense lower abdominal pains (like period ones but slightly different and stronger than usual) and a side cramp on my left. They are delivering huge amounts of pain and i'm not sure what to do. Please help me!

You need to call your doctor and speak with a nurse about it asap. Although it could just be your period. But the fact that it's different enough for you to be worried about it means you need to talk to you doctor. Right away!!!
