Why am I having a second period? Missed pill?!


Question: Why am I having a second period? Missed pill?
I was on my period from thurs 17th - sat 26th march. Then started spotting after the 26th.

During my period I had sex on thurs 24th march morning and took usual pill that evening.

I missed my pill on Friday 25th march evening,

Noticed on sat when taking usuall pill that I had forgotten Fridays pill,

Continued spotting from the 26th untill today which I am now having another proper period. I am on the pill 'Cerazette' if that helps.

Any reason why? Is it because perhaps that I missed one pill, very confused. Please help!

Answers:

Yes, if you miss a day on birth control it can severely alter your cycle. (It does change your hormones, after all.) I overall missed 2 days during my last pack of pills and ended up with a month-long period. So try not to forget!



It's not uncommon to spot or have other irregular bleeding here and there on a progestogen only pill like Cerazette. The problem with POPs is that they have a narrow window, so if you were more than 12 hours late taking it, you won't be protected.

If you have unprotected sex in the two days after missing a pill, then you'd need emergency contraception. As you missed the pill on the day after you had sex, you should still be covered.
