I have recently started birth control Apri about 15 days ago, I used the first day start method and I am still on my period.I have recently been on Reclipsin however I stopped that a few months ago, and switch to Apri, when I was on reclipsin my period had lasted 23 days. I really just want to stop bleeding so I can get on with everything, but dont know if I should switch pills again, wait it out, or start taking the inactive pills a week earlyI also pretty much need to be on the pill because I cant afford BCP and am only on the pill because it is covered by Obamacare. Please help me! I really dont want to continue having a month long period, its miserable!
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Changing the birth control pill can cause some hormonal imbalances causing a prolonged bleeding. You can change the pills and take some hemostatics after consulting your gynecologist to stop the bleeding. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
