Birth control

2017-12-15 03:09:45
I recently started to take birth control pills. I started the pills on the first day of my period, but its been nearly 3 weeks since then and my period has not stopped. Should I keep taking the pills or stop now? I am trying to stop my period from coming in the next two weeks so I'm unsure as to what is the best course of action.

If you are bleeding since 21 days you need to visit gynceologist personally immediately. It is not normal. You need to be examined. You may need blood tests and SONOGRAPHY.
