A member asked:
Birth control first time use. started 4/14 got period 4/16, period going on 6 days now. is this normal?-a longer first period not on sugar pills?

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.
