Birth Control And Messed Up Period Posted: 05-16-04 22:29pm
Hello, I was on diane-35 for 2 years with
no side effects, then for 1 1/2 year I
wasn't on the birth control pill. I've
been very irregular and having my period
for about 12 or 13 days since i'm off the
pill, and I started taking alesse on the
first day of my period this month, wich
was a sunday. I have been having my
period since then, and it's been 15 days.
I didn't miss a single pill. It's very
light but very annoying. I really don't
know what to do I would just like
everything to go back to normal. I'm
supposed to have my period on the placebo
pills next week, will I just not stop
bleeding until then? Thank you for your
comments or advices.

It is hard to tell. It may just take
time for your body to respond to these new
pills. You will probably still get your
period, but it should be light as you have
not stopped bleeding yet.
But if it does not go away a couple of
days into your new pack then call the
doctor. It does take a full three months
for your body to fully respond to a new
b/c pill, but my doc said that
bleeding/spotting, whatever should not be
constant for any period of time. The
hormonal level in that pill is probably
just not strong enough for your body.

I had that same thing happen to me when I
started taking the pill. I started on
orthotricyclen, and I bled really heavy
for about 9 days, and then lightly for the
rest of the month. I told my doc, and
she said that it was because the estrogen
level in the pill was too strong for me.
She perscribed one with less active
hormones, and the next time I got my
period it came on time and it was
normal.
If you keep bleeding into the new pack of
pills, ask your doc about the hormone
level
