I have been on the pill about 5 months now. The last two months I tied together as I was going away for a romantic weekend and did not want to be on my period. I started to bleed very lightly before I have come off the pill for the 7 day break, which has never happened before, then today after 5 days of light bleeding its now really heavy.
Basically I do not have sex when I am on, but since I have been on the pill I have had much longer and heavier periods.
How long should periods last on the pill, will I stop before tomorrow, my boyfriend is ever so horny, as I am and one time I bleed for about 2 weeks.

My knowledge of the pill may be outdated. What I remember being told is that the pill works by making your body think it's pregnant. When you stop taking it, your body sheds the uterine lining. So, if you are taking the pill, your period should stop when you begin taking the pills that cause your body to think it's pregnant.

See your physician and explain your extended bleeding. The strength of the pill may need to be adjusted.

Not having sex while you're bleeding is a choice that is frequently inconvenient. Most horny guys don't care about a little blood. I just do it anyway. Noble, clean, thoughtful... not necessary. Put a dark colored towel down and just do it. Women bleed.

You might want to consider trying a different pill, or at least call your dr to make sure this is OK. All of the pills I've heard of tends to make periods lighter and shorter if anything, never heavier.

As for you cycle being a little off, that could be from tying the two months together. I've done that before too but I usually don't anymore because for me my next period after skipping is heavier and longer than usual. But for me its only when I skip a break.
