Egh.
So my period normally lasts 5-6 days ish.
Never longer.
I'm 15.
About 2 weeks ago I started on birth control.
And a few days later, a Sunday, my period started.
A week and 3 days have gone by and Im still bleeding!
It's not super heavy, just kind of regular.
Should I be worried?

It is normal to experience some changes in your periods while you are so young, and also after starting the pill. With the pill, it usually happens in the first two or three monhs. If you find it lasts quite a long time, is extremely heavy, you are experiencing pain or heavy cramping then you should call your doctor.

Remember, if you are engaging in sexual intercourse, still use a condom!

You are very welcome. Just don't forget to see a doctor if you experience any of the other situations or if it continues more than 2 or 3 months.
