birth control
Okay, i started taking birth control pills about a month ago and i just got my first period while being on them.. it says it is supposed to make your cramps not as bad and a lighter period, mine is the complete opposite, i have horrible cramps and a heavier period.. is that bad? And i get like clumps of blood if you know what i mean.. it's weird.. does anyone know? if not i will call my doctor, but i wanted to see if anyone on here could help me out first..
thanks<3

Most likely your body needs to get used to the birth control, but I do have a question or two for you?
What was the birth control prescribed for? Is it for your period, or actual birth control. If it's to help with your period then you'll need to talk to your doctor about how it isn't really helping. If it is for actual birth control than this may just be a side effect, but I'm no doctor, I'm only 15 (though I've taken parenting classes and all that good stuff) but anyway, in my opinion, you should talk with your doctor, make sure this is what is supposed to be happening. None of us were with you at the gyno when you were given this medication, none of us know the side effects and whether or not you are experiencing them or something else that is better/worse. You are better off talking with your gynocologyst though. I know plenty of people on birth control, none of them have ever shared with me if they experienced this though.
ADDITIONAL INFO!!!
If it's for actual birth control, then it could just be the side effects, I still reccommend talking with your doctor to make sure that it isn't too bad that you're experiencing this. I'm pretty sure (though not being a doctor, I'm not positive) that you would get a different kind of "check up" if you wanted birth control for your period. But anyway, it could just be side effects. Thanks for not only the rating, but the feedback! S_C

that sounds normal.. especially if you had irregular periods before. just give it time. i would say if it happens the next 2 or 3 times to contact your doctor.. and you shouldnt really have cramps because birth control keeps you from ovulating and cramps usually mean you are ovulating.. thats why they are lighter.. maybe your dose isnt strong enough. like i send give it a few monthes then consult your doctor

Your body just needs to get used to the birth control. Some of my friends have told me that the first 2-3 months while on it you have bad cramps and a pretty heavy period. After that it gets MUCH better. So, wait it out. Give it until March and if things haven't worked themselves out, then you might want to go back to your doctor.

i think the other columnist is right. birth control starts not so great at first & then your body gets used to it & then it gets better. try it & wait a bit. if your next period is worse er juss as bad you might want to go get it checked out juss incase.
-hope that helped!♥

♥ Your body needs to get used to the birthcontrol. Give it some time. It will clear up. Its just your body is reacting to something new. It will pass!
