Q: On Birth Control But Early Period
asked by: hghgoo on June 17th, 2005

I have had dark discharge the week before my period for the past two months and an early period.
I am on ortho tricyclen lo. Is it working if I am having my period early? That scares me about the effectiveness of the pill.

I have been doing the same thing. I am a sunday starter and I will alway start spotting like the thursday or even tuesday before my period pills. Have you figured out why yet or talked to your doctor?

Ok I got this checked out and the doctor just put me on orthotricyclin rather than the lo version. Basically he just upped my dosage. It took getting used to because the first week or two I had bad side effects. Now everything is just perfect.

What birth control are you on? I have been having alot of problems with a lot of birth controls. I am only 18 and non-active and I had to go in for a dnc back in april and they said that if I had waited like a month so than I would never be able to have kids. :-(

e-mail me if you want too. I tell you what birth controls I have been on and whatnot. Maybe my gyno office could help you out. They would help you.


Hope you're going to be all right.
