A member asked:
I started bleeding heavily specifically from jolivette pills, and have had unbearable side effects. when i stop them, how soon will the bleeding and side effects stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: Breakthrough bleeding is a common side effect on Progesterone only pills. This is why most doctors prescribe the more traditional combination birth control pills. Once you stop them they are out of your system in a few days.
