periods on the pill???

**copied and pasted from period group*

ok so this is a long one, thankyou to anyone who takes the time to read this!

i’m 15, i was put on the combined pill recently for my acne. my doctor said to start it on the first day of my period- but i didn’t listen :)

instead, i started it “midcycle” on the 10th day (ish)

i was warned by people on here that it would totally mess up my hormones, but i’ve FELT fine the whole time

however

now i’m on the inactive pills, i was expecting my “period” but i was told the pill makes them lighter, so it would be light.

but i started today

and it’s heavy

like same as it used to be

AND i’ve started getting cramps when i never used to get them?!

i know that starting the pill midcycle could’ve made it heavier, but will they get lighter?

because honestly i want them to be light ugh

anyone have any tips/advice/help or any past experiences?

how long does it take to adjust to the pill and get light periods?
