When taking oral contraceptives...you NEVER have a menstrual bleeding period! Those ONLY OCCUR AFTER an OVULE reaches the UTERUS and is NOT fertilized. The hormones in the pill suppress the cycle of ovulation. That is what keeps you from getting pregnant. Other forms of birth control should be used during your first few months to assure the level of hormone in the pill is effectively preventing ovulation. The makers of the"pill" give us a seven day breakthrough bleed because they think women were happier believing that they still had a "normal" monthly "bleeding cycle"! I prefer Depo Provera; a small shot once a year, then no pills, no pads, no cramps, no mess!
