A member asked:
I've just started a new birthcontrol called ortho tri cyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) 12 days ago and i've had my period 10 of those 12 days. is this normal?

Yes: Irregular breakthrough bleeding is common when ever you start a new birth control. Try and give it at least two months as these side effects tend to go away.
