I am 20 years old and take Reclipsen. My periods are irregular and last a lot longer than they should. Is this normal?

How long are your periods? on the birth control pill, they should only be like 3–5 days. If your periods are extra long, you should get a blood test for von willebrand’s disease (a bleeding disorder). If Reclipsen is not good for your acne, you can try a birth control pill with norgestimate. However, the one you are on is pretty good.

It may be smart to check your thyroid to make sure there is nothing going on there. Do you take your pill at the same time every day? that is important!

You can skip your periods altogether if you like. Just skip the sugar pills. Usually, you can get to 3 months with no periods and then you get some spotting. Read more about how to skip your period here
