There are many side effects women can experience when taking birth control. One common side effect is an early menstrual period. This might consist of small amounts of bleeding in between your normal cycles, or it could be a complete period that comes earlier than expected. Abnormal symptoms might consist of a period that remains much longer than it should or starts much earlier than necessary.
According to Dr. Marjorie Greenfield of drspock.com, early periods on the birth-control pill are typically only present during the first four months of birth-control initiation. Since the birth-control pill initially causes your hormones to get thrown out of balance, it might take up to four months for the period to become regular once again. You cannot force an early period, however, as there is no sure way to predict how your body will react to the birth-control pill.
Early periods are a normal part of birth-control initiation. However, these symptoms should subside after the first few months when the period becomes regular again. If you experience abnormal periods after this time, consult a physician.
