I really liked this birth control for a year. But now I don’t know what happened. My periods used to be very light like nothing at all. But recently I started getting cramps before my 3 month placebo week and I took my placebo week and have been bleeding very heavily for over 7 days into my active pills

I was fine when I started taking it last month until I had break through bleeding that is going on for 3 weeks. The pads are becoming irritating.
