A member asked:

I'm having my period every 2 weeks and i don't know why and i'm on birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Different OCP: You may need to be switched to a different birth control pill - either one with a different dose of estrogen or a different type of progesterone. Talk to your OB/GYN about which would be best for you.
