I have been on ortho tricyclen lo for 3
years. Im not supossed to start my
period for 9 more days. I forgot to take
my pill last night and now I have started
my period. Is that normal? Do you
think I will be on my peroid for 2 weeks.
Has this happened to anyone else before?
Im just nervous and wanted to know if
this is noremal or ok? Thanks :? :?

You are not actually having a period, you
are having breakthrough bleeding which can
be heavy.
Okay get this, the period you get on the
pill is not a "real" period, you only
bleed because you stopped taking hormones.
The very first pills did not have a
period week, and it is not necessary
because the pill stops uterine lining
growth. But this seemed unnatural to some
women and a period was added!
So you forgot a pill your body says"
ooops no hormone, time to bleed"
