Exactly three weeks ago I started bleeding, a week after I started BC. It was heavy for three days then been normal ever since. about a week and a half into the bleeding, it stopped. But next day it went right back to normal, after I thought it was over. Then today, about a week and a half later, It stopped again, for over right hours, nothing. Then it just came back to normal bleeding again??? I am confused, is it because of the pills?

Yes. When you first start any birth control, it is common to have spotting and irregular periods for the first month, and possibly for the first few months. It stinks, but you just have to wait it out.

Well it really just depends on the person.

For me, I had spotting for about a week per month for the first three months. And my periods were light and late. But the spotting has gone away now.
For lots of people, after your first period, it evens out and it ok. But like I said, it just depends on the person. Sometimes it may take up to three months. If it lasts longer than that, you should probably switch pills.
