Should i change birth controls? i'm currently taking amnethia tablets, a birth control similar to seasonique. i'm only supposed to have my period once every 3 months. i started taking the pills in jan, and now i've been bleeding relatively heavy for about

I : I do think you should consider changing birth contorl. It is abnormal to have heavy bleeding for a week while on birth control. It may mean that your hormones are out of balance. Please use a condom until you are established on a new oral contraceptive tablet. Please see your doctor for an evaluation.
