Answer
Hello, archu,

Consider yourself lucky. Those pills are dangerous and poisonous and can cause a woman to bleed to death. There are women in India who ARE bleeding to death. Those pills stop the hormone that controls a woman's bleeding. There is NOTHING normal about taking those pills, so anything can happen. PLEASE don't take any more of them!

I can't tell you what is going on unless you let me know some information I don't have at the moment. How far along were you when you started taking the pills? Are you counting from the last menstrual period, or the day you think you conceived? How long has it been since you took the pills?

If you can answer those questions for me, I will be able to tell you more. Thank you.
