RE:Restart Pill, Is this Normal?

Hello,
I wrote a couple weeks ago, about restarting bc b/c my fiance and I are getting married in Nov. I was trying to time it so that I wouldnt have a period near the 6th, so I started my pack a few weeks ago. My period was supposed to come around the 26th and I wasnt sure if It would b/c I would be at the beginning of the pack. Well It turns out I did, I guess. The only thing Im worried about is that the blood is really dark, almost black. Is that normal? Also, Will I get another period when I take the Placebo pills. My worry is that I will continue to get it around the 26th of next month as well, then that runs into my wedding date. Should I Skip the placebo pills next month to be safe? Any feedback will help. Thanks.

The dark blood is nothing to worry about. It just means that your flow was light and it is 'old' blood, that took a while to discharge and the iron in it has oxidized, just as the scab on a cut turns brown. I don't think I'd ship them all but skipping a few of the placebos would be a good way to give yourself a bit more space. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
Make sense? I hope so, if not, holler!
