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.
