irregular
Alright so in the middle of like May I got birth control. I started it right when I got it because I had just finished my period and that's when you're suppossed to start. Anyways, the last week in June I got my period (a little late but that's normal i guess) but it was EXTRMEMLY heavy and I honestly thought I was having a miscarrage (im a virgin so i knew i wasnt but thats how bad it was) and I even had to leave work early. Anyways, on Friday (today's Sunday) I noticed that I was getting my period AGAIN. After only a week. It's extrememly light this time and it's more of a brown color (sorry if that's too graphic) and I can get away with a light tampon all day.
Is this normal for being on birth control or should I be worried?
15/f if that helps.

Well I'd give it a while, your body has to get used to the pill. If it hasn't gotten better in 2/3 months call the doctor. You might need a heavier type of birth control. The light period is bleeding in between time. Your body has to get ajusted, but if it keeps this pattern up {bleeding in between time} call the doctor. I'm pretty sure the bleeding in between time is your body not being able to wait that long to get rid of the blood. Since you just started on the pill not too long ago, your body still needs to ajust. I'm sure it's just your body not used to it. I know what I'm talking about. If you need anything or didn't understand something, just leave me something in my inbox. Don't worry!!

No, this is not normal. You should go to your doctor and explain what's going on, and they'll probably recommend a different dosage of hormones, and therefore a different birth control. The birth control hormones are not "messing" with your body, they're meant to mimic the hormones the female body releases naturally, some girls need more, some girls need less. Generally birth control is supposed to lessen symptoms associated with menstruating like cramps, and heavy flow, not increase them.
Although it does take your body a little while to adjust to birth control, hence the spotting (which again seems too heavy), your period shouldn't be interferring with your life.

Yeah, it's normal I believe. I bled for a whole month straight when I started mine.

Well, i would image it is normal because when you take birth control it messes with your hormones. The brown blood is simply the old blood, and your body needed to get rid of it. If it keeps happening, consult a doctor about it.
Good luck.
