Posted on Thu, 16 Apr 2015
Question: I stopped taking birth control pills on my 6th pill because i was nauseous, bloated and having stomach cramps. A few days later, a had a bleeding. But i wasn't aware that it would be like a normal period. Is this normal? Because i'm getting worried that i might be losing too much blood.
