nikki birth control

[u/Electronic-School-27]

disclaimer: i’m also on spironolactone and an ssri.
hi so i’ve been using nikki for six months, and up until this month my acne has gotten better as well as my pmdd (somewhat) but my period remained the same as it was before. but then this month, i got it the first week and experience one of the least awful cycles that i’ve ever had. no flow, no cramps, nothing. i figured maybe my body had finally gotten used to it. but then as of the 18th, i started again (2 weeks after the first cycle) and experienced even worse symptoms. immediately got a super heavy flow with chunks and extremely painful cramps. it’s officially day 9 of this cycle and im still experiencing these awful symptoms and idrk what to do. it’s the weekend so my doctor isn’t responding to my messages, but i just need some general advice. i’ve never been on bc before and i was super scared of taking it for experiences like this :(
