Hi,
If you have used the pill for the first time only to stop the period, it is likely that the dosage may not be adequate to stop the bleeding and in addition, the progesterone-like effects of the drug can cause additional hormone imbalance. This is perhaps the reason why you have also been experiencing diarrhea and headaches. Please see your consultant for proper appraisal of the situation as you may need other medications to arrest this bleeding and also a sonogram to assess the status of the pelvic organs. You would need hormone supplements to stop the bleeding completely in addition to styptics. Hope this helps.
