    I was put on birth control for the same reason a few months ago and it took me a week to completely stop bleeding. I was on it for another week before the bleeding came back. I went back to the doctor and they had to give me a new proscription because it just wasn't helping. I would say if you are concerned than call the doctors office and ask the question. They might need to give you a different pill for it to stop the bleeding. My doc said I should of called her by the fourth day if it wasn't working

    Usually about 1-2 weeks, the hormones have to have time to build up in your system, once you stop taking them you will begin to bleed again within 1-4 days after, this is referred to as a "pill period"

    I realize that is an historic query however I desired to reply seeing that humans must have a form of responses whilst watching for solutions. Do no longer pay attention to piepiepie, who's tremendously impolite and must no longer be placing evaluations whilst answering wellbeing comparable questions. When preventing beginning manage, your interval will come. The period is exceptional for every body. After a whilst, hormones stage out and your cycle can be on a agenda. I took bc for every week and acquired dangerous migraines. My husband and I determined it used to be no longer the proper path of movement so we're watching at different choices. I used to be on another capsule a couple of years in the past however I don't do not forget what the results have been after preventing. This time round I had a interval immediately that used to be gentle and lasted a couple of days.
