birth control?

Question

i have been using birth control for 3 months now but yesterday i started the 2nd of my white pills and got really heavy bleeding and clots like i used to with my usual period.

is this normal to experience heavy bleeding and clots on birth control?

Answer 1

Have you been having your periods every month?If you have thats good, i would say just see how long your period lasts for and if you are worried go see a doctor. But if you mised a period by replacing it with birth control tablets so you can"t have a period, this can happen, it's like doubling up on a period from last time, so it doe's became heavy, hope this helps your question...

Answer 2

Personally I've never seen a difference in my flow on or off the pill. Sometimes it helps reduce your flow, but each pill reacts differently with each person.
Maybe check with your doctor if lighter periods are your goal. He can write a script for a different pill, just be careful about switching pills too many times because some BCP's have horrible side effects.

Answer 3

From personal experience, yes, it's normal. But if you aren't usually a heavy person, then maybe you should go back to the doctor and talk to them about it. And if you have anything unusual happen,you should definately go back.

Answer 4

Yes, fot the beginning part of it. For me now I havent gotten it this month and I keep testing and it says negative. So birth control will mess you up just a bit..

Answer 5

No, this is not normal. I would recommend checking with your doctor to see what they think could be going on because sometimes infection such as with the cervix can cause this.
