Q: early period two months in a row
asked by: catalepsia on June 8th, 2009

I am 25 years old and have been on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for over a year. Last month my period came two weeks early and this month it came early again. The first time it lasted over two weeks and I had very painful cramps. I have had cramps since that first early period and they haven't stopped. I take the pill at almost the exact same time every day and never forget. I'm not currently sexually active, I just want to know what's going on.

Sounds like you may need to switch birth controls. Call the doctor and ask about it (you may not need to go in).

I had problems with this pill, too. My periods lasted 9 days instead of the normal 5 and I got cramps so bad, much worse than without the pills. I figured I couldn't take birth control pills or something (I was only taking them because I was on Accutaine). A couple of years later, I went to a gynecologist and asked about it. She said it's fairly common for some women on the multiple dose packs. I've been on a single-dose type pack for over a year and haven't had any problems.

it is also kinda swollen on my right side between my belly button and hip bone. If I put pressure on it it hurts.
