I started taking birth control pills
(apri, which I think is a generic brand of
desogen) ten days ago on the first day of
my period. Since then, my period has not
stopped (it's usually 5-6 days). Should
I be concerned? The bleeding has been
fairly light for the past five days or so,
but it seems too heavy and too frequent to
be spotting. I don't know how much
breakthrough bleeding is normal and if
this is just continuous breakthough
bleeding. I'm curious if this is at least
somewhat common when starting pills, and
it will go away, or if it is something
that I should go see my doctor about.
Thank you!

Yes it is common for you to have some
strange bleeding for the first few weeks
of pill usage. You should notice your
bleeding will stop fairly soon, hopefully
during the 2nd week of pill use :)
