Is this normal? 21F, started taking Sibilla 2 months ago and now I’ve been bleeding for 10 days

I’m 21 and started taking Sibilla every day 2 months ago on my gynecologist’s recommendation. I’ve had regular periods for years, but they’ve always been extremely painful and very heavy, with large clots. Sometimes I even bleed around ovulation or about a week before my period. My gynecologist found some small endometrial polyps and recommended starting birth control pills. I was honestly desperate, so I agreed. I had my first period while taking Sibilla and barely bled at all. I hardly needed a pad, although I still had some pain (just not nearly as bad). The problem is that I’m due to have my placebo week again next week, and I’ve already been bleeding for 10 days straight. I’ve taken the pill every single day at exactly 10:30 PM and haven’t missed a single pill. The bleeding isn’t particularly heavy, but it’s definitely red blood, not just spotting, and I’ve also been having pain around my ovaries. Why am I bleeding like I’m having another period? Is this normal when starting the pill? I’m honestly so frustrated because I was hoping the pill would help with the bleeding and pain, not give me even more days of bleeding. Has anyone else experienced this when starting Sibilla or a similar combined pill? submitted by /u/HiraethMoonlight [link] [comments]
