Okay s I started taking hormonal birth control pills a few weeks ago hoping to regulate and normalize my alol over the board cycle...They say start the pills on the first sunday after your period starts, and mine started on Sunday so I started taking the pill that same day..Had a 7 day period even while taking the pill and have spotted almost every day since. there have been a few spot free days, but not many...Its almost time to start the placebo week of pills and have another period again. I've called my doc to ask about if itis normal to bleed this much during the first month and am awaiting a call back....Any advice, ideas, suggestions??

I'll repeat myself for you Squat-our honorary woman--I am taking the pill to regulate my umpredictable cycles..and to level out my hormones--not for pregnancy prevention--I got pregon the pill so I don't trust it for that..

:wall: stupid DSL, just lost my other post!
Short version....doesn't sound right, being on the pill. IMHO, sounds like they need to up the hormone level in the pill, change them up a little bit to get you regulated....
Talk to your doc & see what he says...:hug:

Just got a call back and they said to wait until I have been on it for two cycles, then if it continues after that, we'll try something else..

Have you see that commercial for that fewer periods web site?? I looked at it www.fewerperiods.com and it sounds pretty good to me...

That might be something for you to ask about....
You know, you don't HAVE to take those placebo pills, if you want to skip having your period, just keep taking the regular pills.
My sister did that one month beause it happened she would've gotten her period right smack dab in the middle of their honeymoon!

I was going to say the same thing the doctor's office said, about waiting another cycle. I know they start off with the lowest possible hormone levels, but sometimes it takes a little while to get you regular.
I have heard, and of course I cannot tell you where because I don't remember, that it is not healthy for a woman to have fewer cycles. Basically, the 28 day pill mimics your cycle. The "fewer period" pills don't mimic a natural cycle. I was on the pill for a long time, but I would definately not be into messing with my natural cycle any more.
OH! Also, STAY AWAY FROM THE SHOT! I gained 20 lbs. when I got the BC shot AND had my period for weeks at a time. :faint:
