Birth Control

0 Replies

I was recently told to run my pill (Millinette) together and only take a break when I started bleeding, then take 4 days off and go back into running it continously. I had a lot of heavy bleeding this morning like my period had started, but nothing since apart from light brown, just a lot of pain, hunger and grumpiness like I normally get on teh first day of my period, so I'm having the 4 days break starting today. Will this eventually stop my periods, as the pill is quite low doseage, and I've been feeling utterly crap with bloating and stomach cramps since going past the standard 21 pills, anyone else had this or know if it will go away?! x
