    Default Painful Period While on BC

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    I'm taking Alesse 28 day pack and I got my first period while on the pill on Friday. (five days ago) Normally (before I ever took BC) my periods lasted about five to six days and by now (fifth day), the amount of blood would start to decrease as my period finishes off for the month. Also, I would only ever have period pain on the first day which was pretty bad and then sometimes it carried out onto the second but not as bad. This time, I didn't even feel it when I got my period and there was no pain at all. However, on the fourth day (yesterday) I started to get pain and it continued into today. This is different than usual and also as I said by now there would be less blood but there actually is a good amount and it does not seem like it would be ending today or tomorrow.....Is this supposed to happen?

    When I was on the pill, my periods lasted longer (from 5 days to 7-9 days), but the pain wasn't as bad. Sometimes it just takes your body a while to get adjusted to the hormones. It can take up to 3 months in order to know exactly how your body will react to the pill.
    ~Today, any person can fight the battles of one day It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's- yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad. It is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
    Let us therefore, live but one day at a time.~
