irregularities of cycles

The problems started in early May. My period arrived a bit early but not abnormally so. I wasn't on the pill at the time so I figured life stressors were factoring in. However, 2 weeks after I had my period that first week in May, I got it again. Then AGAIN at the end of May. The first one in May was accompanied by horrendous cramps that had me ill. I decided to get back on the pill (had been taking it for years because of the cramps). I started the pill at the beginning of June. One week in to my first pack I started spotting - that dark brown stuff. The spotting has continued to this day. Some days are worse than others and I occasionally have cramps (very tolerable, though). I participated in a week long biking event that had me working out for at least 5 hours a day and then went to visit my boyfriend so I skipped the placebo's and continued on with the next pack. The spotting hasn't stopped.

I have never had this before and am starting to get worried. I have this last week of pills and am going to go ahead and do the placebos next week just to see what happens. However, I'm starting to get concerned about what might be going on...Any advice?

Hi diablosdiva and welcome.


It sounds like may have had an ovarian cysts or something that really threw off your cycle back in May.

I'm going to finish this current pack of pills (today is the last one) and see how next week goes. I will definitely call my doctor if things get worse. Thank you very much for you help and advice!
