This is an interesting place.

I do have a concern, though.

A few months ago I went on a low-dosage type of birth control. (The normal kinds made me quite loony.) Since then, the first few periods were maybe two days in length, and rather light. I greatly enjoyed that respite from my norm -- six days and heavy, plus such cramping! But last week, I think the grand total of time I spent bleeding was six hours, and that was spaced out over two days -- I bled three hours or so one day, and the same the next day.

There are little blinking lights in the back of my mind, I know. While I haven't been consciously worrying about anything, I've had a few pregnancy-related dreams in the past few weeks. I suppose it would reassure me if anyone with experience might know whether such a small period is normal.

My sweetheart has also pointed out that I've not felt well for one reason or another for the past week. I'll be tired, or have a headache, or congestion, or gas. I've had a lot of headaches, actually. Is that something which might show up while using birth control?

Thanks.

it is possible it could be just your BC pills... it is also possible you are pregnant. Take a test, see what you get. I know with my pills though there are months I have nothing more than the tiniest amount of spotting for my period, and I used to be a real heavy bleeder.

Seriously though, if you are concerned, take a pregnancy test. They're cheap, and if nothing else the headaches could just be your fears, not the pills.
