Mili birth control- 3 years, and I’m bleeding light but then I’ll stop and then I’ll bleed but stop and then when I’m on my period it’s heavy bleeding the entire time.

This has been happening since you got on it?? Honey you need to switch pills or methods. This isn’t the right one for you. Mili overrides your cycle entirely, so there’s no true period, just a withdrawal bleed during your placebos. The bleeding outside of your placebos is called breakthrough bleeding. It’s not a medical issue, but it’s certainly annoying. Ask to switch to a different delivery method, progestin, or estrogen dose.

There’s a lot of environmental factors that could be affecting your hormones to cause the irregular bleeding that have nothing to do with the pill but if it goes on for a long time it would be worth talking to your gyno/primary to swap to something of a different bc pill variety

I was on Yaz/Nikki for a long time and I know it’s a common and gentle option
