birth control
"This is the first BC pill I've taken. My doctor put me on it after 8 weeks post partum. I've always had very regular 5 day periods. Heavyish for 3 days, and very light for 2. I've been on this pill for almost 3 weeks now. I spotted for the first week and then stopped completely for a couple of days. It has now been 10 days straight of pretty heavy bleeding with no end in sight. I use a menstrual cup which I have to change more often than on my heaviest days of my normal period. I just called my doctor to ask to switch to a new medication and the nurse told me it's just my period coming early and to finish out the pack of pills (3 active and 7 inactive "period pills"). So I will probably bleed for another 10 days, if not longer. Awesome."
