After having a tubal ligation, I experienced a very heavy period for about 5 months. I started birth control pills (BC pills) and they initially stopped the heavy bleeding after 4 pills. Now, I'm on my second round of BC pills and my period is heavy again, similar to before. I'm wondering if the pills stopped working for me.
