A member asked:
Is having to change my tampon evey 30mins with first trial of birthcontrol too much? should i stop taking it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Bleeding heavy enough to change a tampon every hour is too much. Most doctors would recommend you double up on the pill until bleeding is under control. However, your doctor will want to hear about this problem and i would proceed with their recommendations.
