Q: Ortho-lo...am I Spotting Or Did I Get My Period Early???

I recently switched from yasmin, which I was on for 3 months....It gave me really bad migranes and bad acne. I switched to ortho-lo about a month ago. I'm still on my first pack...I have 2 more active pills to take. My question is...
For the past few days i've felt like I was going to get my period. I just had that yucky feeling and I was crampy. But, nothing happened. Then yesterday, while I still had 3 active pills, I kind of sort of, I dunno....Maybe got my period? I mean, it's soooooooooooo light, I don't know if you would even consider it to be a period. It's barely even there. It seems more like spotting....It's brownish colored, not reddish like it would be during a period and super super light. But, why would I get it 3 days before my inactive pills are supposed to start? Did I get my period? Am I spotting? I thought I might be pregnant, no.....I took a test...Negative. What do I do? Should I continue to take the pills as I normally would and take the inactive pills? Should I go to a new pack? Help!!!!!!!!! I'm so confused! I need some girly power and advice!! Help me girls!!!

Continue taking the pills as normal. It is very common to spot while on ortho lo! Your body is probably still adjusting to the horomones in the pill too, so relax :)
