Spotting...
| Sun, 11-14-2004 - 11:28am |
I know this must be a frequently asked question, but I missed a pill at the beginning of my second week, I took it when I remembered (when I took my next pill) as directed, I was completely fine. When I started spotting a few days afterwards, I didn't think much of it because that's what I've heard happens. It went away for a few days.
But then in the middle of my third week, the spotting continued and now I finished my pack and I'm supposed to start my regular period tonight (which usually is just spotting)... but I really don't like having to go through another week of spotting, or even a heavier period, if that's what I'm in for.
The last two months I haven't had a period beyond spotting for two days. So I don't really know what's going on. The only changes I would say is that I haven't been running as much as I had been the past two months. Would that be it?
Is everything still okay?

My guess is that you`ll have a light period this week, maybe just a little more spotting. If your normal period is light, then spotting all month would reduce the amount of blood in your uterus that`s going to be shed. Hey, maybe you won`t have a period at all! But chances are, there`ll be a little bit going on.
The good news is that your cycle will reset itself when you start your new pill pack.
Hope this helps!
