Strange Period with My BC Pills

Hey everybody!

I figured this would be a good place to go for my question.

I've started taken Alesse for about four months or so. My doc started me off by giving me sample packs, and it seemed to work out okay minus a few spotting incidents. I think was given more samples to make sure things were okay.

But before I got my third pack, I basically went without any pills for about three days or so because I oculdn't get an appointment in time (It's so hard to get a doctors appointment here!!!) but my doctor told me taht was okay, since i'm not sexually active (my boyfriend and I have never had intercourse) I can just take my pills starting from the day that we left off. so I took my pills, and had my period, and everything was okay.

Granted, it was a really rough period, quite heavy and crappy, but still a period. now comes this time. On the third week, I got spotting, and it was annoying, because it was heavier then my normal spotting, so it was like I was on my period becasue I got cramps and felt like garbage... Anyway, my fourth week comes, and I get a period, a rather light one tho, that seroiusly seemed to last only about two or three days.

It just baffles me. The only thing I could think of is that I might have screwed up my hormones or something, but is this normal? I've been worrying about it, even thinking I'm pregnant (I know, it's stupid.) but then I think I wouldn't have gotten a period if I was, or just other things like that. Is this normal, or what? Has anyone else had experiences like this?

Thanks for your input!

yeah....It might take a little while to get your body back "to normal"....Even missing 1 pill call throw your cycles off from what you're used to--in my experience...GOOD LUCK!
