Should I go to the doctor?

Question

I started my first ever birth control pills on December 17th, 2016. I didn't know my body was going to change much but it did, I have non stop cramps every single day (I used to not have cramps not even while being on my period), and also I've been spotting for like almost 2 weeks straight, it's not much but it's still a long time. I'm on my second placebo pill today (24/4), when am I supposed to get my period? And is all of this normal, just my body getting use to being on the pill or should I talk to my doctor? I'm on the combo pill btw

Answer

I started ortho cyclen about the same time. I had sore breast for a month, period for 3 weeks, a very bad headache (during placebo week), and insomnia. I would say that if this is troublesome for you then you should switch your bc. My friend had tried some pill and it made her very very sick so she switched to depo

Answer

Wait for three months to see if the cramps and spotting get better. My doctor told me the first three months are your body getting used to the new hormones. Don't worry about not getting your period on day 2 of the placebo pills, it usually takes me 3-4 days of those to get my period. If the cramps continue after the next month definitely go to the doctor, there's several different types of pills you could try. Hope this helps :)
