I am on Ortho Tri-Cyclen. I have always gotten my period on the Wednesday during my sugar pills. This month I startedspotting on the Thursday BEFORE. I wasn't due to start my sugar pills for another 3 days.

Should I be worried? Pregnancy? What's causing this?

HELP!

Thanks.

If you have been taking your pills regularly and not missed any you shouldn't be worried about pregnancy. Things like spotting can happen when you are on any type of contraceptives or even when you are on nothing, especially when you are new to taking bc pills. How long have you been taking them?
