Q: Early Period And Bc

I'm on my third month of ortho tri-cyclen lo and started my period a few days before starting the green pills. Six days later, i'm still bleeding. Last month, my period started on the third day of the green pills and only lasted four days. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?

During the last month I was also on an antibiotic for 10 days and lomatil for about another 10 days. Could that be screwing with my system? I've been off both for maybe 2 weeks.

Yes, antibiotics cause birth control pills to not be effective, so your body is acting a little whacky. You should start to notice some improvement as you take your pill regularly.

Ok, good. Thanks.

Yeah, it's a 28 day pack, so the green ones are the placebo.
