Very Long Period. Just Started Birth Control. Help! Posted: 11-07-07 16:42pm
I am 23 and just started my first pack of
Alesse 28.
I took my first pill on the first day of
my period. Now I have 9 pills left before
I am supposed to start the placebo week to
start my next period and I am still
bleeding from the previous period!
Should I be worried about this or is it
just my body adjusting to the new
hormones? I
have tried posting this question on other
boards and have come up with no answers.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.

YES, that is your body adjusting to the
hormone levels.
You should continue to take the pill as
usual, and have your placebo week too.

Hi Carifairy
Thank you for replying to my post. I
thought it was probably from the hormones
but better to ask just in case, you know?
I do plan on taking the rest of the pack
(placebo week too) Hopefully things will
clear up soon.
