No, you may need to get a different type of pill. Go see your doctor, they will choose a better pill for you. Yes. The first entire month I started taking Birth Control I had my period everyday. It was very light however and after that first month my period went back to normal.

On hormonal birth control you don't menstruate full-stop because the purpose of the hormonal birth control is to suppress your menstrual cycles in order to stop ovulation - the bleeding women experience on hormonal birth control like the pill is a known as a withdrawal bleed, it's caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when you go from active to inactive pills. It's normal to experience irregular bleeding for the first three months on any new form of hormonal birth control while your body adjusts to going from a normal menstrual cycle to this new pattern of bleeding - if it lasts longer than three months, talk to your doctor.

There are a lot of variables in the first few months of birth control: every woman has different reactions to birth control, including spotting, skipped periods, weight gain, weight loss, etc. Such long periods should not last. If you are truly concerned, of course, the best course of action is to speak to your prescribing doctor to be sure your reaction is normal. He or she knows your medical history better and can understand whether a longer period has any clinical significance or is simply a side effect. You should never be afraid to ask your doctor about any suspected side effects from medications.

∙ 14y agoYes it is normal. i have it with every different type of contraception i try. its your body just getting used to the chemicals your putting into your body, but do mention it to your GP or nurse when you go for your follow up.

∙ 14y agoNot necessarily. This longer than usual period that you are experiencing could be breakthrough bleeding. Breakthrough bleeding is an unwanted side effect that sometimes occurs during the first 3 months of starting your birth control. Breakthrough bleeding also usually occurs before your period, so it seems as if your period is lasting longer than usual.

Is it normal to get your period twice a month when you first start taking birth control?
Yes birth control changes your cycle causing your body to have to adjust to the birth control after a few weeks it should become a normal schedule.
Will you have a normal period the first month you get off birth control?
It's very unlikely that you'd have a normal period the first month off birth control (I'm assuming by 'birth control' what you actually mean is the combination pill - please don't use these terms interchangeably, there are many forms of birth control!). Your first 'period' will be your withdrawal bleed as normal, but after that it may take a few months to get a real period again. It can also take up to 12 months for your cycles to regulate again once you stop using hormonal birth control.
After starting birth control how long does your first period last?
It depends on the type of birth control. Sometimes after starting it, it could be longer than normal, and sometimes it will disappear the first month. Sometimes it will be normal, and sometimes is will be shorter.
