“Period birth control”
Started birth control again after a couple years. After pill 2 I started heavy bleeding ( an ultra tampon every hour or 2) and cramping. Should I stop taking it and talk to doctor about another kind?

Hello. Yes it is recommended that you discontinue the birth control and consult with your doctor regarding your concern.
Sometimes starting a new pill can cause bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy you should see your doctor. You should have a pelvic ultrasound and a blood test to check your hormones.
