Last month was my first month on Ortho Tri Cyclen - I was supposed to get my period on saturday and didn't get it til Sunday but it was really light and it's gone already... should i be worried that it was just spotting and that i could possibly be pregnant? Should i wait and see til next month before i take a test?
any help would be greatly appreciated

Since you are just starting hormonal contraceptives it's going to take about 3 cycles for your body to adjust to the hormones in your pills. Your period may move around a bit even after that. Typically Aunt Flow arrives between 2 and 5 days after you finish your active pills. Light short periods are very common when taking BCPs so what you are experiencing sounds quite normal to me. If you are freaking out then you can test but I think you should be fine. Thanks for posting. Let us know how you like OTC, ok?
Good luck,
