Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I started my period this past Friday and usually last about 4 days because I am on birth control. I should have ended my period today but I noticed that my bleeding was getting heavier and redder again (something you normally see in the beginning of your period). This hasn t happened before and I have normal cycles. What could be the problem?

Hi, I did not understand your query. It seems you have taken I pill, & also you state that you are on birth control(?regular cyclical) if so & if you are regular in taking birth control pill. you need not take i pill, which is an emmergency contraceptive. I pill being an emmergency contraceptive, has high hormonal content, which results in heavy withdrawal bleeding.The mensttrual irregularity/bleeding pattern will come back to normal within couple of months. Thanks.
