Period Question

I'm on OTC lo (for the past 9 months). Well this month, I started spotting the day before I took the last 2 active pills (last friday). Well, 6 days later, I still have my period. Usually I get it around the second plecebo day and it only lasts a few days. Is this normal? Unforutnately my dr. is down at school, so I couldn't call and ask there first. Thanks so much.

Hi rthrbswmng, welcome back!

Have you been taking new meds or lots of vitamin C, switched to a low carb. diet or been loosing weight from exercise? Those things can sometimes cause irregular bleeding. If not you might want to let your doc know what is going on. You might need a pill change but it seems awfully soon for that. Let us know, ok?

Good luck,
