Birth control and period

Corrah

I started taking birth control because my doctor thinks I might have Endometriosis. I am not using it for contraception. My period started a week ago, the doctor said it would most likely be a week later than usual but it was right on schedule. It was lighter like they said but my cramps are more consistent than usual and still painful. Today is day 7 of my period and nothin has changed. This is the first time I’ve had a 7 day period in over 2 years and it’s the worst thing ever. They are usually between 4 and 5 days. I don’t know what’s going on and I just wanted to know if anyone can relate?
