    I was looking at going on the pill myself, I got a leaflet right here from the family planning clinic:

    "You may get temporary side-effects when you first start the pill. These side-effects include:
    headaches, weight gain/loss, nausea, breast tenderness, bleeding between periods, mood changes
    These side effects should stop within three months. If not, changing your type of pill may help."

    hope this helps, but if you're still worried, go back to the doctor/clinic
    ((((warped))))

    rite my m8 went on the pill, n for the first month, she bled continuously. I think its so it gets it all out of there.

    I think its normal, don't worry you wont bleed to death!


    There's a girl in my mirror
    I wonder who she is
    Sometimes I think I know her
    Sometimes I really wish I did

    And after you've been on the pill for a while your periods start getting lighter, don't they?

    I had that and I bled for 5 weeks, before i finally went to the docs, she gave me some tablets to stop the bleeding, go to the doctors, it can be dangerous!!

    I don't mean to scare you, but better to be safe than sorry!

    I bled solidly for the first month. Dont worry bout it. If it carries on past that then see it a doc. Good luck babes.

    I have a drinking problem. Two hands yet only one mouth.

    ok. so quite a few people bled for the whole of the first month. im a bit releived now even though it is like day 13. the thing is though its more like very thick discharge, not blood. AND its brown!

    has this happened to anyone else? and when did the bleeding actually stop for these people?

    please reply.
    luv warped
