Q: Solia birth control ... Three Periods In One Month??

I started Solia (first time with birth control) the Sunday after my period. A week of taking the pill went by fine, then I got a light dark period from the day before christmas until now. I don't know whether to call it spotting, which I've been told is normal on birth control, or a period. It's lasted almost a week. I'm not at the end of my pack yet, where I'm supposed to take the sugar pills and have my period. I'm afraid when I get to that point in the pack, my period won't come because I'm having it now? Is this weird? I can't talk to the perscriber until after winter break............ and I want to know so I don't feel worried about it. Any ideas?

ANY bleeding that is not your 'period week' is not called a 'period' it is called "Breakthrough bleeding".

This normal for the first 1-2 months on BC pills, as your body needs to adjust to the hormone levels.

Your body is adjusting to the pills some people have the opposite problem as you do now, if it persists tell the doctor, I mean if it happens the next 2 or 3 months in a row otherwise I think that your body is just adjusting to them.
