Hey Guys, i started bc about 4 months ago, i spotted a week before every period. My doctor switched me to a different birth control i started spotting early again and didn't know which day was my real period so i kept taking the pills instead of the sugar pills, ever since then i have been spotting for a month and i don't know if it is my period or not?
what could this mean?!

well if you started a new pill maybe you're readjusting? when I first started bc I spotted for a little over a month, then everything was fine...

if you've started your pack of pills keep taking them as you should no matter when you used to get your period on your old pills...your body will adjust to those pills and soon everything should be on schedule...but dont stop taking pills because you havent gotten your period yet, the spotting should stop after a month or so then you'll get your period during the placebos sometime
