Hey, I’m definitely going to my gyno about this but I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. I’ve been having full blown periods on oral birth control about every two weeks or so. Please tell me I’m not alone this is so scary. 😭

Have you been on HBC for a while and this is new? Or did you just start HBC and now this is happening? Also, while you’re on HBC you don’t get real periods. It’s called withdrawal bleeding because usually the last week of pills are placebo instead of supplementing extra hormones to make your body bleed from the sudden lack of hormones. A real period is the shedding of uterine lining. The hormone pills stop you from building that lining and from ovulating

Are you taking it at the same time every day? If not, it can cause problems like that (ive had similar issues)
