Yet another birth control question...?!
Question:
Yet another birth control question...?
ok, so ive been on ortho cyclen for like 8 months, and i took the break every time... but i had graduation last week, so i decided to skip the placebos and therefore, skip my period. bad news is: i period started anyways... it was a little later than usual, and has been extreamly lite!!! i didnt know if it was just spotting or somthing when it first started, but not becuase its been over a week, and im wondering if i should just stop the pills... let my period finish, then start a new pack the sunday after its done. or is it ok to just keep taking this pack and just take the placebos, and just see what happens?
Answers:
Just keep taking the pills. It's just break-through bleeding. Your body was used to monthly cycles, then you confused it by not allowing it to cycle normally. It just needs time to adjust to things like that. You'll be fine. Next time you want to try something like that, consider changing your cycles a few months in advance so your body will get used to it.
