Re: Questions about taking birth control continuously-and some of my own symptoms!

You are asking the same questions I have after taking the pill continuously for just over 2 months!!!! I still got my normal period after taking the pill continuously after 6 weeks! The pain that came with it was just as bad as before...that period lasted normal 6-7 days and then I had a week break followed by about 10 days of very slight bleeding and a continuous dull pain, especially in the lower back. Bleeding is still going on...

Taking the bcp continuously is supposed to stop the pain and maybe slow the growth of endo...but I don't think it's working for me. There's no harm trying though...for some people it really does work!
