Still on period, just started pill?

Question

I started Microgynon 30 for the first time on the first day of my period 9 days ago, and I'm still on my period! It's been much lighter than normal, but has lasted twice as long. Is this common, and will this be a regular occurence?

Answer 1

Yes, some spotting and bleeding can be normal when starting on the pill for the first time because the body needs time to adjust to what is going on with the medication.

I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
