A member asked:
Period is longer than usual after taking bcp for the first time, also is it safe to have sex when on period and the pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BCP: It is not unusual for your periods to be different on the pill. This is especially true the first few months. They should normalize after 3-6 months or you may want to consult your doctor. You can always have sex during your period, you are still protected. Remember BCP's don't protect against STD's so use appropriate protection.
