Hello everyone so It's my first time being on birth control. I am taking Ortho tri cyclen lo. Im 20 years old btw. So before I started on bc my obgyn gave me Provera so I could start my period (bc I hadn't gotten it for 4 months) so I started it. It was for 10 days that I took it. I started my period on sunday April 14. I took my first birth control pill that day (as directed by my doctor). Now I've had my period for 20 days now since the 14. It hasn't gone away and idk if that's normal. And im about to take the inactive pills so I'm like confused when my next period will start. Help! Thanks

It sounds like your body has been thrown for a loop here lately and your hormones are likely all out of whack. Give yourself a chance to level out a bit, as frustrating as it is. Hopefully once your inactive pills are gone and you start a new pack, things will go a bit smoother. -
Thank you so much for the response. I hope so too.Comment
