New to BC...kinda confused.

I posted a message earlier this week about starting the BCP a little bit too soon.

As earlier stated, I was barely spotting when I started the pill that night, then the next day my period just happened to

umm....disappear. Then I bled very lightly up until today (Tuesday 16th) which is highly

unusual for me. Usually I spot, then overnight I get heavy for about two to three days

and then it begins to taper off {remember this is before I ever started taking any form

of BC}. But now since I've started it, it has seemed to reverse itself....light for a

couple of days, and then heavier, not as heavy as I am without BC, but none the less

heavier. Is this normal??

Also, this may be a stupid question, but I read that you are supposed to have your period

on about the 2nd or 3rd pill of the placebo pills. Does this mean since I used the Day 1

start that I am going to have yet ANOTHER period in just two or so more weeks??? I'm not

even done with THIS one yet. I'm getting just a little bit frustrated with these things

and I'm just now approaching my 7th pill. Lol....blah, maybe I'm just young and stupid.ha.

Encouragement anyone?
