"i began the first pack and everything started out fine. there was no major side effects. then, came my first period. what a complete nightmare. my period was light and heavy. making me want to scream in pain from my cramps. i bleed through tampons left and right. also, it would go on for two days then stop for one. then begin while i was sleeping. my &quot;period&quot; lasted for 8 days in total compared to its usual 5. now, two weeks later i&#039;ve had bloody discharge every single day."
