Q: Got My Period Early

asked by: augerz on March 25th, 2006

I just started the pill, I started spotting about four or five days before my sugar pills started. I'm on the second day of the sugar pills and i'm just wondering if how long my period is going to last. I'm just not used to any of this and I don't know if it's normal. My period is kinda of light now and i'm wondering if it will get heavy or if it will probably slow down soon.

Thanks!!!

How long have you been on the pill?

Spotting, sad to say, can be normal on the pill for the first 3 months of use. Your periods should lighten up though. That is the good news! They are also supposed to be less painful (if you have cramps).

I just started this month.

Yeah, I have horrible cramps. So, far *crosses fingers* my cramps seem better right now.

Over time your periods will get less and the pain will too. Just remember to take your pills at the same time every day and you should be fine. ;)
