Sprintec Birth Control Pills

I recently started taking sprintec birth control again after going without it for a couple of months, this time I started it on the first day of my period which is the "day 1 start" I came on my period July 22nd & I am still on, it usually only lasts 5-7 days so I'm a little scared now being that its been 20 days, there first 7 days I had a heavy flow like my normal pd but after the first 7 days it's been light and barely there, I talked to my doctor when the first 14 days had passed and she said that things like this can happen, has anything like this happend to anyone else? & ifso how long is it going to persist like this? And what should I do?

Hello, Jenny! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

However, your doctor is correct, this can happen, while your body is adjusting to the hormones in these oral contraceptives and it may take about 3 months of things to settle down.

The FDA lists the other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, weight gain and PMS like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?
