is my birth control working?
| Sun, 10-15-2006 - 10:50pm |
I'm having an all out period when I'm not supposed to with Ortho Tri-Cyclen pills. I just started taking these for the first time in August, I take them every day in the morning. I decided to skip October's period since the first green pill (blanks) I was going to take was on my wedding day. I started right into the next pack of pills with the white ones without skipping any days. On the 6th day of the new pack I started getting cramps and then started my period. I've been having it ever since with cramps every day - I normally only cramp on the first day. Also, this is the third day and the bleeding is heavier than it was the first and second days - also weird for me.
THE QUESTION - Is my birth control working? Is this normal?

This can be pretty normal when you just skip the placebos with a triphasic pill.
