@hamilton1995 I can tell you my experience with birth control pills was short lived.

When I first starting taking them, they seemed to be OK. However, after I had my first baby a few years later. That is when I had issues taking the pills.

I would bleed for 28 days and not for 5. This went on for 4 months. The Dr said to keep taking them it will eventually go back to normal. After the 5th month I quit taking them. Something just didn't seem right, so I felt it was best not put my body through that. Plus bleeding for 28 days straight was not fun, and it wasn't a light bleed either.

You need to talk with you Dr and see if this is really right for you? Seek out other birth control options possibly. I ended using a Diaphragm. That seemed to work as my best option.

I wish you best..
Jackie

@hamilton1995 I was never on birth control pills as Dr told me since I had a hard time conceiving anyway After my son was born I never worried about it Dr knew .But as a nurse I remember when they first came out there was some bad side effects to women who where hospitalized that was in the 60,a so they have improved them but with what you are saying I would see a different Dr. Your right it doesn't seem right
