Period In the Middle of Birth Control Pack? Posted: 03-14-05 11:37am
I have been taking ortho-tri-cylen lo for
the past year and have not experienced
anything weird or abnormal while on it.
I have not missed any pills, and last
night I took the first pill for the week
before the "sugar" pills. This morning I
started my period. Any explanations?

I just went through the same thing last
week. I found out my problem was I was
extreemly stressed out. Take care of
your body and calm it.

Your body may be rejecting the pill and
you may need to switch brands. Or:
have you been sick at all this month?
Have you taken any medications you don't
take normally, including vitamins? It
could be because of one of those two
things or your body may just be having an
off month. Wait and see what happens
next month and if it continues to happen
you should probably switch brands. I was
on ortho lo and I had that happen to me
all of the time. The hormone level
wasn't high enough for my body.

Same Problem Posted: 03-29-05 09:09am
Hi I had the exact same thing happen to me
and I was wondering if I started my period
a week early should I continue taking the
pills for that week or skip and go to the
pills for the week of your period?
Thanks....

Your body adapts to the pill over time and
things change. I've been on the same pill
since june... Up until the past 2 months
my period always came on the wednesday of
the placebo pills week. The last two
months my period decided it wanted to come
on thursdays instead. So don't be too
worried, but if you are, as already
mentioned by someone else, you can always
switch brands!

If your period comes early keep taking
your pills like you are suppose to.
Don't skip to your placebos, that will
just mess up your system worse! But, if
it doesn't go away soon, then I would
switch brands.
To the girl who has had three period in 45
days...Did you just recently start taking
the pill? If you did then (if you can)
wait the three months to see if your body
regulates, but if not then I would
definately switch. That would be so
annoying!
