Started a higher dose birth control pill & periods are still heavy & is lasting longer than previous pill. is this normal? what should i do?

It can be normal: Periods can change with different birth control pills and may take a few months to settle down to normal. However it is never wrong to call your prescribing doctor to discuss these concerns or make an appointment.
