Period while still on the pill??
| Tue, 09-16-2003 - 10:14am |
I am 20, mother of a 2 year old. I have been on ortho trycyclen for over a year never had any problems at all. This month I am on my last week of pills and i started what i think is my period. while still on the pills for this month . This has never happened to me before and I was wondering what are some possible reasons for this. A few times I havemissed pills and i follow the instructions on how to catch up.. I have done that like 3 times this month.. I dont go longer then a 2 days with out pill.. Just wondering if this might be the problem and that it is not a big worry. Please message me back whoever asap I am very worried if I am prego.. or something is wrong. thanks for your time

You said in your post that you haven't missed more than 2 days of pills. Does that mean 2 pills or 48 hours? Any time you miss a pill, you could ovulate. Missing one and taking it within 24 hours is usually okay. More then 24 hours, you should use back-up.
As far as the bleeding goes, it could be caused by the missing pills. Or, your body is changing, causing you to have break through bleeding. If it happens again next month, think about contacting your doctor. It might be time for a pill switch.
Hope that haelps some!
