Hi everybody. My name is Emily and i'm 16 years old.

In may i started becoming sexually active. I went to the clinic for birth control (ortho tri-cyclen), because I'm sort of keeping my mom behind closed doors about it all.

This past month i took my first pill, "sunday after your period starts"...just so happens...my period was over by that sunday becasue i had it the monday before, and my period only usually lasts five days.

Last weekend i had brown discharge which was completely not normal for me. Then i realized there was a little blood mixed in, and then i realized around Wednesday it was my period.

Getting my period was strange because according to birth control, i was supposed to start my period a week later, and according to my calander, i was supposed to get it two weeks later.

So my period started very light, Wed-Fri...on Sunday, i realized it was really bad and only getting worse. Going through super plus tampons like it was nothing! I also seem to be having SO MANY BLOOD CLOTS! 'til this day (Wed, a whole week later), my period has never been this bad...or lasted this long. It seems to only be getting worse by the day.

I feel like because of the hormone imbalance with birth control, its screwing with my menstrual cycle.

Is this normal?
Should i just wait it out...could it just be for the first month?
Should i stop taking it and talk to my doctor?

Please help, thank you. Emily <3
