"this is the first birth control pill i have ever been on and i have been taking it since january. it is good for the most part. however, when i first started the pill, i bled for about three weeks straight like a crazy period and i am constantly dealing with bleeding between periods. often it seems to be caused by having sex with my boyfriend. sex seems to be a trigger to start bleeding. i&#039;m still the same happy person i was before i started the pill, i just bleed a whole lot more than i used to."
