"This is the 1st BC pill I&#039;ve ever taken. I&#039;m 43, was having heavy periods &amp; horrible pelvic pain (sleeping with a heating pad between my legs).  Gyno said this is safest level of hormones and it would help with my periods/pelvic pain.  Started taking April 2017.  That month had period on white pill days.  No cramps &amp; a little lighter than my periods usually are.  May was pack 2 and white pills came, brown pills and no period. 2nd week of June mid pack and I started spotting Sunday - was heavier by Monday but no cramps.  Called GYNO office to inquire and was told that it may take 3-4 months for my body to get used to pills.  I&#039;ve been bleeding lightly when I wipe for about 6 days now.   I&#039;m hoping the bleeding doesn&#039;t worsen."
