[|Human|] i just started taking birth control . i was told by my doctor to take it the third day after my period started because the last few days are very light. Anyways, now that i am about 15 -16 days into taking the birth control, i have period like symptoms, and the flow is like the first day of my regular period...... do you get your period twice during the first month of taking the birth control pill ? (taking alesse )
[|AI|]  Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question. This is not typical for a birth control pill start.  It might be related to irregularity in your cycle that existed before your started the pill.  I really cannot tell based on the limited information provided.  In your case, I would recommend:1.  Check a pregnancy test2.  Continue taking the pill daily3.  Expect that things will regulate over the next 1-2 months4.  If this does not help, then talk to your doctor about a different pill I hope that this helps and good luck!!
