Menstruating on Continuous Birth Control

you'll usually menstruate once or twice before the continuous bc actually fully stops your period. there may also be the occasional "breakthrough bleeding" which could range from some spotting to a full blown period. give it another month or two and if you're still having periods, talk to your gyno about it

I haven’t had surgery, but I’d assume it depends on where you get surgery, or stress. Then again, could be a coincidence.

I've had surgery for endo twice in the last 7 years. After my last surgery in 2019 I had an IUD placed and I haven't had a period at all since placement.

Just had this talk with my obgyn about bleeding on continuous birth control. He said about 1/3 of pts still bleed. And that it can take 3-6 months on continuous birth control for periods to stop but they should be lighter each month.

It could just be stress on your body from the surgery. Give yourself atleast another cycle before worrying too much. ❤️
