I was put on Noriday to control horrendous, long, heavy periods after having my 2nd child 14 months ago. I have been Noriday a month and got my 1st period 11 days ago (still going..). It is lighter than normal which is great but it seems never ending. I am not sure if this is normal on Noriday? Is this much bleeding normal? is it breakthrough bleeding? or a period? It isn't spotting - I need sanitary protection. I have 3 months worth of pills. I also feel 'thicker' around the middle and have put on a few lbs without trying. Is it worth persevering or best to go back to GP? What are your experiences?
