is this normal?

Question

hello ladies!! 
i just started birth control about 3 weeks ago and my doctor told me to use it to skip my period. my doctor didn’t really talk with me about what to expect when starting it so i was wondering if anyone could help on here?
i just started week 3 of the hormones on (10/19) but yet got my period that night even though it wasn’t sugar pills. i was wondering if this was normal? 
thank you to anyone that helps!!

Answer

Sounds like youre experiencing breakthrough bleeding. Give it a minimum of 3 months for your body to adjust to the hormones and side effects to die down. Headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, irregular bleeding, all normal while you're adjusting. To skip periods most people skip their sugar pills and just start the next active pack of pills. With that there's a possibilty of spotting.

Answer

Yes, it can take a few months for ur body to adjust to the birth control. Just keep taking them as directed & consistently.

Answer

It’s normal. Just keep taking it

Answer

You just started them. It takes a while for the hormones to build up in your body
