last wed. i noticed spotting.. and it got heavier and heavier.. and i started my green pills sunday, so i assume on my period cuz i keep beleeding.. but this period is SO different from all my last ones.. the cramps really hurt.. and i have the same feelings as i did when i was never on bc.. i can feel the flow.. and its heavy.. i LOVED my 4-day periods, light days, barely no cramps. what the heck is going on? i have till saturday to finish my green pills.. anyone else have this? any help? my cramps get horrible sometimes ((exactly the reason i went on birth control in the first place)) ive been bleeding (in need of a pad) since thursday of last week.. 6 days now. i know spotting and breakthrough bleeding is normal. im just paranoid cuz im new to this. and i appreciate all the help from the older experienced women. it means a lot.
