For the past two weeks, i have been having what seems to be a light period.
i read in cosmopolitan that if you don't want to get your period after three weeks on the pill, you can just start a new pack.
i lost my pack, so i started a new one when i should have been having the week of green pills. i started having discharge with blood in it anyway. this seems logical to me, although i'd hoped it wouldn't happen.

i just had my wisdom teeth pulled a week ago, and the painkillers for that are supposed to render the pill ineffective. yet i stopped taking the painkillers three days ago, and the bleeding continues.

next week i am going to be taking the green pills.
will the bleeding stop after that?

maybe i should also mention that i had a yeast infection two weeks ago..?

I'm on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, so I guess that explains that. The green pills are placebos; I'm taking one today, tomorrow and Saturday and hopefully that'll be enough. I'm having trouble relocating the piece in Cosmo--it was really short. Just something on ways to have a better vacation with your significant other. It was either in the May or June issue. I'm going away for the weekend so I'll bring the issues with me and try to find it for you. Thanks for your help, Jill!
