Default On the pill but getting period twice a month...help

I am 19 years old and I am on the pill, its called balziva. I have been on it for almost a year now and for the past about 5 months I have been getting my period twice a month. I get it during the second week of the pill pack and during the week of inactive pills. I have scheduled an appointment with my doctor, and it was supposed to be on June 12th, but unfortunately they have to reschedule it. Has anyone had this problem before or know anything about why this could be happening? Last month I actually had it for 3 weeks, it didn't go away during the third week of pills. Having your period this much sucks
I appreciate any feedback! Thanks

Sounds like its not strong enough for you. At first it was, but either your body adjusted to it vey quickly or your hormones changed.

You just have to get a new pill or a stronger dosage of what you're on.

Is it a tri-phase or a mono-phase pill? Tri-phase means each week is a different amount of hormones, and mono-phase means every week is the same dosage. If its a tri-phase, that second week is too weak for your body. If its a mono, I don't know the answer. The doctor will probably just switch your pills. Hang in there! Sometimes it takes a while to get the right one for you.

Exclamation Too long on b/c?

I have the same problem, but it seems to happen no matter what b/c I am on. I have tried three different kinds in the last six months and no matter what I either have my period 2x a month (Alesse) or three weeks a month (ortho-tricyclen) or spotting all month (Marvelon - that was just evil). Any ideas? I heard that b/c will thin out your uterine lining leading to excessive bleeding, but is there any way to stop it? Or will I have to go off the pill for awhile? All the doctors ever do is give me a perscription for a different pill, but if anyone out there has experienced this and found a solution I would love to hear about it!
