Q: Adding a Day On to Period
asked by: pinkyglitterz on October 8th, 2007

I was just wondering if any one would have an idea as to why this is happening.

Here's the story:

3 months ago I was put on Cyclessa and I've notice that I'm tired a lot, have a low sex drive, moody at time and I now have my period for 6 days, when I use to get it before for 5 days.

When I was 18 I was put on Mircette and had no problems, my period went from 5 days to 3 days (Yay!), but then Planparenthood stopped carrying that pill so at 21, I was put on Desogen and got my period for 5 days with that pill plus I had occasional spotting 3 days before my period was due..so they put me on Cyclessa and thats where it ALL started.

I called them today because I was only give 3 packs for a trial and I told the lady on the phone about adding an extra day and she told me "thats normal, maybe your just getting old, well not old but older."....what I could have killed her!

Does any one have any ideas or suggestions?

Sounds normal. Three months is the usual adjustment time for pills, so it's no surprise your period has lengthened in this time. This is now your "normal" period will be on these pills.
