Post First time taking BCP.......Extra long period???

I just started taking OrthoCyclin for the first time yesterday. I started the pills on the first day of my period. My question is for those of you who started their BCP on the first day of their period, did they have an extra long period (longer than the normal 5-7 days)?

I took Ortho-Tri-Cyclen, which is different from what you are taking. I didn't start on the day of my period. But when I was on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen, my periods were lighter and shorter (about 4 days average).

Re: First time taking BCP.......Extra long period???

I always have longer than 7 day periods so I'm not the best person to ask. But doing day 1 start its always lasted longer than 7 days.

p.s. it is also a common side effect to spot the first month...
