Q: Started pill three days early

I have been on birth control for about 7 months. My last pill in the pack was saturday, and my period started monday. I had unprotected sex on Thursday and got nervous, so I started my next months pack that day. I was still on my period at the time and started the pack three days early. My period usually only lasts 3 days. I am still bleeding, but only when I am penetrated. This is getting very frustrated and I am not sure if my period is lasting longer since I started my pack early. I just want it to end!! any advice???

You've messed up your hormone levels by taking your birth control pills wrong. There is nothing you can do except take the pill as prescribed and wait for your body to get back to its normal schedule.

Re:

Thanks! I know a lot of people experience bleeding for a month when they start birth control, do you think mine will be shorter since I've been on it?

I have no idea. If you had taken the pill as directed, I would assume your period would be lighter and shorter, but since that is not the case, I have no idea how your next period will be.
