This is perfectly normal. I wouldn't
worry. Your period can
come randomly early or randomly late even
if you are on the pill perfectly for many
different reasons... stress, eating,
weight changes, mood, hormone
fluctuations, whatever. Don't worry.

also i forgot to mension a question....
do you think this means that my dose is
screwy?
im on alesse and someone told me its the
lowest dose birth control you can get.
recently ive been more active and trying
to eat way healthier than i was. maybe
this fowled up my cycle?

Alesse is a low dose, but many women take
it with no problems at all.
Because it is a lower dose, you are more
likely to spot or bleed if you take a pill
late, or miss a day.

Sometimes it just happens, and there is no
logical explanantion as to why .
Your period can
come randomly early or randomly late even
if you are on the pill perfectly for many
different reasons... stress, eating,
weight changes, mood, hormone
fluctuations, whatever. Don't worry.
