And now a never ending period
So I started the new BCP two Sunday's ago in an attempt to control heavy bleeding. That Sunday also happened to be the first day of my period. And while I was thrilled that I didn't have the 1-2 heavy bleeding days I normally do (3-4 days in it was pure bliss, like "wow, this is how the other half lives!"), I've now been bleeding for 12 straight days. It's light, but my gosh, almost 2 weeks, come on! It's as if my body is saying listen, you are going to bleed 100+ml every cycle and it's either coming all in one day or spread out over 2 weeks, you pick your poison. Thankfully I use a menstrual cup and so just don't really even have to think about it (just empty at night before bed and in the a.m.), but still it's annoying. I certainly hope it's just a combo of me starting the pill at the same time as my cycle and my body adjusting to it.
