I went to planned parenthood on the 19th of October! The Dr. said that Ortho Tri-cyclen lo was safe enough to start whenever you wanted instead of the normal sunday. So, I did just this. I started the 4th of this month and started noticing around the 11th or so that I was having brown discharge which i thought maybe was just spotting. Today, I feel as I normally would when I am on my period. My stomach normally gets upset and I end up having to go to the bathroom more than regularly and this is exactly what is happening. Is this spotting? Do I continue taking the pills and happen to have my period again once i take the last 7 pills, if this even if my period? Im so confused and am starting to think I should just go and get another pack and then start again once this bleeding is over with. What is this and what am i supposed to do?
