Has anyone ever experienced a change in
day in which your period started on birth
control pills? (finishing ortho tri
cyclen lo (2 years), changing to ortho tri
cyclen).
I usually get my period on wed (once or
twice on thurs) of my placebo pills
(4th/5th day), sometimes I will start
bleeding tues night. (since I started
paying attention and writing it down in
march) however, I started bleeding today
(tues.), but it is exactly 28 days since
my last period. This cycle however, I
experienced a week and a half of
breakthrough bleeding, where some days it
looked as though I was actually having my
period. But when I started my placebo
pills on sun. I just had some brown
discharge (sunday and monday), and the
bleeding stopped. Im pretty sure this
is my period, not breakthrough bleeding
because I feel crappy (cramping, bloating,
etc.).
I just wanted to see if anyone has
experienced a change in the day in which
their period started. I dont care what
day of the placebo week it starts, as long
as im bleeding (so I know im not pregnant)
...Even though I
haven't had sex in three months
im also started taking paxil cr this
month, and found out that it reduces pms
(a plus), and I think it balances my
serontonin, which is probably why I got my
period exactly 28 days this month, rather
than 29/30.
Ps. Will I experience any side effects
from switching to ortho lo to ortho?
Will I still be protected well, since im
going straight through, or is it like
starting pills all over again? Needing a
backup method, 3 months for full effect?

Will my period be lighter and shorter due
to the breakthrough bleeding? I dont
know what my problem is, that im so
worried. I haven't had sex in 3 months!!
Ive done other things, but not that, and
take my pills everyday. Im worrying now
cuz im not bleeding any more, but ive had
this happen on the first day where I bleed
on and off.
