Birth control is making me bleed all the time??

Question

I got a regular period and then started my birth control, i have been bleeding, much lighter than a period, every day since i started! What do i do? If i stop taking it then my body will be all messed up, is there anything that will make it stop!!?!?

Answer 1

Call your GYN. This particular Birth Control pill may not be for you. There are plenty out there.  

Answer 2

Breakthrough bleeding can happen when you first start the pill and it is normal.

Just continue taking the pill as normal and the bleeding should stop eventually.

The bleeding is due to  your body adjusting to the pill's hormones.

Answer 3

It is very normal for women to bleed most of the time when they first start any type of birth control ! I get the depo shot and i got it the 2nd shot a month ago and i now started my period but when i first got the shot i was bleeding all the time no worries !

Answer 4

A little information that my doctor gave me when I I started the pill: It is important that you take the pill at exactly the same time every day. This light bleeding can be a result of not taking it at the same time consistently.  

Answer 5

You need to call your doctor. They probably need to put you on a new birth control pill that has more estrogen in it. That will help make your period regular again. The doctors always start women out on lose dose hormones and increase it only if the woman has bleeding all the time.
