General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of had a nosebleed monday night for almost 10 minutes, last night for about 2 minutes, and tonight, a few minutes ago for 2 minutes.
That you are on birth control.

This may not be related to the birth control tablet. It may be due to a local problem in the nose in the form of an infection, ulcer, growth, torn blood vessel and so on.

Also check for you blood pressure.
I would advise you to consult an ENT Surgeon to have clinical evaluation, local examination of the ENT to decide the cause and give you an appropriate treatment.
