On OTC for years, currently spotting
Fri, 06-11-2004 - 4:14pm
I've been on OTC for years now. Here's my current situation: On May 29 I took the last pill in one of my packs, typically my period would have shown up by June 3, however, I was going out of town with my fiance and I didn't want to get my period, so on June 1st or 2nd I started another pack, I thought that by waiting those few days inbetween finishing one and starting another would really mess things up... and they did. On June 4th I got what I thought was my period, only this time I'm only spotting every day. Today is the 11th so I've now been spotting for about 7 days. My period usually only lasts 4 or 5 days at the most. I'm continuing to take this other pack of pills hoping that things get back on track but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen and how they handled it.
