Hi, I'm Schae/18. I started Ortho-Tri Cylen Lo back in February due to irregular periods. I never missed any pills until April 29th&30th due to a school trip but I took the required double dosage. Due to that I had abnormal bleeding in May that only gave me a 2 day period. In June, my period was 4 days late(due June 3rd) but didn't come until June 7th and ended June 8th, again only 2 days. I decided instead of restarting my pack on June 10th, I'd just give the pills a break. I went to my actual doctor(not gyno) on June 27th and had urine and blood pregnancy tests and an ultrasound. The tests were negative but found I had Trichomonas-a sexually transmitted infection that goes away with 4 pills in a week, a bladder infection, and the ultrasound showed a had a Functional Ovarian Cyst. I took the STI medication and for a week took the bladder infection antibotics. On July 1st I restarted birth control when my period was due. I still haven't gotten my period but last Saturday I started discharging a brownish/whitish color up until yesterday. I thought it stopped but right around 9pm, I spotted red which I thought was my period. About 3hrs later, it was nothing but the small brownish discharge again.

--Whats going on?? When I first started my birth control, I had breakthrough bleeding when my period actually started for 3wks, nothing like this.--
