I started taking Orlifique birth control pills 2 weeks ago. I haven't finished taking pills with active substances yet, and exactly 5 days ago I got a kind of period. For the first 4 days my stomach hurt terribly (as never before) and I had blood clots (it also did not happen before) and all the time this period is abundant. Normally, my period lasted 4-5 days maximum. What to do in this case? Should I take a 7-day break or start a new blister of tablets?

The symptoms you feel are most likely related to the switch of the hormonal axis to contraceptive pills and are typical side effects occurring in the first month of use (possibly less severe also in the second cycle on tablets) and should disappear spontaneously with the next package. Please do not change the dosage of Orlificique tablets. If complaints of similar or greater severity persist in the next cycle, please contact your gynecologist. Please remember that with birth control pills bleeding disorders should be consulted with a gynecologist. If you are unable to get to your doctor, the gdziepolek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I enclose a link to the page where you can check the availability of the drug in pharmacies in Poland and book the drug in the selected pharmacy: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/88838/orlifique-tabletki-powlekane/apteki
