Birth control question

[Bella20]

So I'm on the pill....

Now this month, I started a pack, but then halfway through I stopped taking them. I only had some spotting yesterday. Am I supposed to get my period again? I'm a little confused.

Thanks!

Your body has to readjust itself. you were giving it extra hormones and now you have taken them away. Spotting is normal when this happens. And yes you will get your period again, most likely about the same time it should have come anyways, just give or take a couple of days. Unless ofcourse you are having unprotected intercourse and there is a possibility of pregnancy.

Supa is right. But it may take some time before you get your cycle back in shape, with spotting in between actual menses. And you have no window in which you are "covered," for lack of a better word, for birth control, so do be aware of that if you are sexually active.

 

Best of luck!

Yeah it's normal. When I would skip a large amount (like 3 or 4) it would cause me to have a period early. You just have to get your body back on track.

Ok! I actually just got my period right now. I was a little worried because yesterday (WARNING TMI) I wiped and there was a tiny bit of very light pink blood, and I was worried that it wasn't my period. But I just came home and I got it Anyway, I'm good. Thanks guys! No baby for Bella this month... haha

I think it would have been better for you to finish the pack entirely and then not refill it. Then, the hormones would have been out of your body and you wouldn't have started your cycle early.
