Not to worry: The birth control pill (BCP) will change the amount of bleeding that you have with your menses. The longer you are on it, the lighter and more predictable your period should be. Also, for the first 2-3 months you can have irregular spotting in between cycles. Your body is getting used to the new hormones. I recommend staying on it and monitoring the periods for now.
