Its different for everyone... Depends on
their body and how it's adjusting to the
hormone levels fromthe birth control.
Some might have light flow, others will be
normal, others have a heavy flow or no
period at all... Some get the same period
flow they've always had. I'm on ortho-lo
and my flow is lighter and shorter than it
was before, which is fabulous, but there's
no way to know how it will be for you...
You're just gonna have to wait to find
out!

Sometimes,you do not bleed at all.If you
are active,play sports,use tampons,you
could have already lost/stretched your
hymen.I've never heard of anyone bleeding
all that much for more than a few hours.It
should not be anything like your monthly
flow.You may not even notice
it.However,everyone is different,as was
said before.Just make sure that you are
protected against both pregnancy and
std's(no matter how nice your partner may
seem!!!!).Always protect yourself!!!No
matter what!!!!It only takes one sperm or
one virus to cause a pregnancy or
illness.If this seems too scary,then you
need to reconsider your readiness for a
sexual relationship.Being sexually active
is an adult responsibility and if you
cannot be responsible,then you should not
become sexually active.(this goes for some
adults as well!!!!)i hope you will not
become sexually active without
protection,for your health's sake as well
as for contraception.Please talk to an
adult you trust(i hope you have one,if
not,you can pm me) regarding birth
control.You should also see a gynecologist
to make sure you are healthy before you
become active and to discuss your
contraceptive options.Good luck to
you.Patty

Hahaha, wow do I feel like a retard!
Yeah, so... For whatever reason I thought
you were talking about your first period
while on birth control... But how much
you bleed the first time you have sex
makes much more sense!
i apologize for my stupidity, and patty's
answer is right, as usual.
