Hi, When you start taking birth control pills, you might not see regular periods for a few months. You might see irregular spotting, lighter periods than you are used to or a heavier flow, a longer or shorter period, or no periods at all for the first month or so. Your body needs to adjust and regularize the hormone levels. You can wait and watch the bleeding pattern in the next few cycles which will regularize with time. Heavy bleeding should be treated immediately to avoid excess blood loss and anemia. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
