A member asked:
I just started birth control a week ago and i now seem to have my period again. it's darker but there's a lot of clotting. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Early period: I would not be concerned when starting a new birth control pill. Some breakthrough bleeding is normal but I would continue my birth control pill pack until finished. Sometimes it takes 2 to 3 months to get re-regulated.
