Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Heavy menstrual bleeding while on birth control pills is a side effect of the pill itself.
Some people do experience such symptoms initially, but would subside few months later.
However, if she is unable to bear this, it would be better to use an another form of contraceptive pill or other methods of contraception which would suit her well. Kindly take assistance from Gynecologist in this regard.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
