A member asked:

In how many days breakthrough bleeding and stomach ache stops while on bc pill?? i am taking ovral (ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel) l from 2 months.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies. GYN check: You are taking a very low dose pill and at 26 you may require stronger female hormonal therapy in BC.It is OK you use Advil or Aleve (naproxen) fro menstrual cramping if not allergic to these medicines.
