Hi..this may sound dumb but i just cant rem the correct answer to this ?...


I am taking OTC-lo for a few months now and today i started my period very heavily which isn't like me 4 days before my sugar pills..Is this normal? Does this mean i need to get a higher dose of pills?

I had this problem two months ago. I attributed it to taking some pills late. It happened again the following month (only a day before the sugar pills). Well this month I made an effort to take every single pill on time (within 30 minutes), and I'm on my second sugar pill and starting AF. So, I'm not sure if this helps, but your not alone.
