Starting Birth control
My daughter just started her birth control last week. She is now on the second week of taking the pill and she got her period. It was a lot heavier than she has had it before. I am assuming that it is her body adjusting to the pill but I could be wrong? Has anyone had any experience with this? It has been ages since I have been on any kind of birth control.
Hi! Thanks for being a responsible mom! I'm sure your daughter appreciates you. Definitely the first couple of months on birth control pills can be an adjustment and this could be break through bleeding and irregular bleeding as you suspect. That would be my guess as well. I'd give it another two cycles to see if it evens out. It likely will. If not, I'd talk to her doctor. Is she on traditional 28 day pill packs? These are the least likely type to have break through bleeding past the first couple of months.

Thank you so much. She wasn't normal to begin with. But she made the choice to start birth control because she was afraid someone would talk her into something. She is easily convinced of things. Thank you, We will see how the next cycle works
Better safe than sorry, really. She sounds like she wants to make sure her bases are covered and that's a responsible girl you've raised there! Good job, mom. Ya, just watch and see if it evens out. If she's not on traditional 28 day bc pills, I'd then consider changing her to that as it's less likely to have issues.
