A member asked:
I'm on the birth control pill been taking if for almost a month i got my period but it's been over a week now can it be related to the pill? normal?

Yes: It's very common to have menstrual irregularities in the first few months on the pill. If you are bleeding heavily, you should go see your doctor. Otherwise, just wait it out and keep taking the pill. Usually by 3 months from when you started your pill your periods will have evened out.
