Bleeding For 3 Weeks On Oralcon

I have been bleeding throughout the active pill for the past 3 weeks, next week I'm starting the inert pill so I will basically have bled for the whole month, is this a normal side effect on Oralcon? My doctor can't even stop the bleeding because it's light.

Yes, that can be a normal side effect of oral contraceptives, and it may take a few months for your body to get used to it, and for the bleeding to stop.

The FDA lists other side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, and mood changes.

Ref: Oral Contraceptives Information

Are you on any other medications?
