I've been on ortho tri cyclen lo for about 2 yrs. Now. It seems since I started paying attention to them (last 7 months or so), they are getting very short, barely lasting 3 days.

I got my period this past wed. Nov.17, bled pretty heavily (for me) and steadily, as well as thurs. (little lighter). However, today, im hardly bleeding, only a little bit of blood comes out when I wipe and its starting to turn that brown color that I get at the end. It wasn't light bleeding wed./thurs. Always a dark red color or bright red, never pink.

Does anyone else have really short periods while on the pill?

I know im not preg. Cuz I haven't had sex since sept. 6 and we used a condom that was spermicial lubricated, I take my pills faithfully, and my fiance' has a condition which may make him infertile (getting sperm test done tomorrow). Also had blood test done oct. 21, came back neg. We do rub up against ea. Other, but one of us always has underwear on and im on the pill and my fiance's condition. I know i've read and drs. Told me that periods get lighter and shorter the longer your on birth control.

Just wondering if anyone else experiences very short periods while on the pill.

Ps. Should I maybe change birth control? Seeing gyno end of dec.
