an early arrival?

I've been on Ortho Tri-cyclen for over a year now, and since then my periods have always arrived at the same...on the 2nd or 3rd placebo pill. Well, this time I discovered that my period arrived about a week early. I haven't even gotten to the placebo pills yet. What's up?? This isn't anything to worry about, is it?

Hi Thomson, welcome!

Have you been doing anything differently this cycle? Gone on a low carb diet or begun taking large amounts (1000mg or more) of vitamin C? It’s probably nothing to worry about but if it happens again next month you might want to mention it to your doc. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?

Thanks for stopping by,

      Jill

well, now that I think about it, I did just start taking a multi-vitamin, but only a few days ago. Could that be what triggered it?

I wouldn't think so, unless you were overdosing on it. But, you never know... You might try stopping for a few days and see if the bleeding stops. Let us know, ok?

Hugs
