Yoonability 4,159 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 So I've been taking the pill every day now. I'm on my third strip and I've been taking a pill every day, though I sometimes would forget and take it a little later than after a period of 24 hours (I take it in the morning when I wake up, usually between 8-10). But now that I'm on my third strip I appear to... have my period? I'm sort of bleeding (the colour is different than usual and it's less than usual) and I also have cramps. Shouldn't I not get my period as long as I'm swallowing my pill? I'm 100% I didn't miss a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelkoya 17,769 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 What kind of pill are you taking? Is it a continuous pill that has the homonal dose in all pills and that is supposed to cut off your periods?Or is it a continuous pill with a week that is "empty", kinda like a useless pill, but its made to not forget? Or is it a pill you're supposed to stop for a week after 3 week, and get back to it after your periods? If it's the first one, I'm on that one too and I get my period if I don't take it really regularly, so if you often forget it and take it on the next morning, I'd say it's normal that you get them If it's the second one, it's totally normal too because for a week the pills don't contain the same things in it and it's just made because it's a habit for the person who takes that pill to take it every night so even during the week it should be cut, there's a pill but it's kinda useless And third one well, you're supposed to stop it after 21 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoonability 4,159 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Is this your first time taking it? First time taking it without a stop week, but as I said I'm on my third strip (so third month without a stop week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feary 2,115 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Call your doctor, girl. If I were you, I'd continue on the pill for a few more days, but if it persists, again, call the doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamington 3,823 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 First time taking it without a stop week, but as I said I'm on my third strip (so third month without a stop week) Yeah I find that normal then. If you do take it at different times etc. you might spot because you are going longer without the pill in your system. And also while first taking the pill you can get a period at really random times because your body is still adjusting to the additional hormones, which could be the reason for the different colouring and also the cramps... Just monitor it for a few days and if you are concerned and or it's getting worse definitely go check in with your doctor because you would rather be safe than sorry! But I honestly wouldn't be stressing, everyone reacts different to it and sometimes it can take a while to find a pill that's right for you and for your body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
