Side effects

i started taking the pill just over two weeks ago, its microgynon 30 and i have had a constant period since i started taking it and the occasional stomach cramps and i wondered how long should i leave it until i stop passing it off as me just getting used to it?

hmm, people take different times to get used to the added hormone levels. maybe run the pack and see how it is, or go in to see your gp just to ask. Are you using it as a contraceptive? you might want to use an additional form for the time being, just till you get used to it.

Did you start taking it on the first day of your period? I'm on Microgynon too and never had any problems. 2 weeks seems like a bit of a long time to me, perhaps you should just go back to the doctor and ask them about it.

I've recently start that same one too, and I haven't had any problems almost finished my first packet :smile:

I'm on the same brand, and I bled lightly for the first three weeks of taking the pill and then had a normal period. Ever since then I've been fine. If you're worried though, go back and see your doctor.

When you say a constant period, do you mean a continuous heavy bleeding as you usually would in a period, or do you mean that most of the time in the day you're okay and then you get an occasional burst of bleeding?
In the first month, I got regular break through bleeding at abuot the same time everyday. It was quite heavy too, but I only bled for about ten minutes and then it would stop again.
