A member asked:
Im on my first period since starting birth control, and is lasted eight days. it is very light but it wont stop bleeding. is this normal?

There is often an adjustment period over the first 2 or 3 cycles when starting the birth control pill. Bleeding may be irregular and variable but becomes predictable thereafter. What you are describing is not unusual.
