longer period because of oral contraceptives
ok well i 17 and i just started the Watson birth control pills. i took it within the first 24 hours of my period like i was supposed to but now its a week later and i still have my period. its much lighter but its definitly still there. ive always been very regular and 3 to 4 days long. is there a reason to worry or should i just wait a few more days to see if it goes away.... is this normal?

Hi!
We usually recommend waiting for three packs before giving up on a pill--it often takes that long for your system to adjust. If you were my patient, I would recommend waiting a while longer. Sometimes when you have an extra long period at the beginning, you skip yours during the placebo. Just keep asking questions before you stop taking them!
Good luck!

"Sometimes when you have an extra long period at the beginning, you skip yours during the placebo."...... What is the placebo?
