Probably: It is common to have some bleeding beyond the normal period when you start the pill. Breast tenderness, headache, and nausea are also common when starting the pil - these symptoms go away within about 3 weeks for almost everyone.

Birth control: It typically can take up to 3 months to regulate your period on the pill. If it persists contact your doctor.
