A member asked:
How many days will my period be while on ortho-cept?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short: It varies but most women on the pill will experience short, light menstrual periods with decreased cramping pain. Most women will have periods lasting 2-3 days, and usually will not last longer than 5 days. Best wishes!
