Q: Kariva Birth Control Pill

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had this experience with Kariva. I am 32 years old with 2 kids. After each child I was put on Kariva. I have never had periods while I have been on this pill. I have been taking this for 5 years now since my last child and no periods. I am currently on the last week in the pill pack, this is when you are supposed to have a period. Well, I am having a period now and think that this is very weird since I have not had any in so long. I have a headache and cramping also. Does anyone know why this would happen??

I started using Kariva when I was 19 and have been using it for 10 years non-stop and I either had no period or very-very light periods. All of a sudden, the last two months I go through the pill pack and dont get my period until the middle of the next month's pill pack. It wouldn't be so bad but I been having an extremly heavy flow and bad bloating. I talked to my doctor and we will be discussing other birth controls since kariva is not working for me now.
