Pill Query

I've recently run 2 packs of the pill back to back. My break week started on Saturday. However, the previous week I got almost a period lasting for 2 days, it wasn't just normal break through bleeding, a lot heavier. Now I'm on the break week and still haven't got my period, only a bit of what I'd call break through bleeding, it's more like red discharge than a period, and far too light for a period. Is this normal, when should I expect for my period to come? :confused:

Normally taking two packs after each other shouldn't cause a problem, so im sure u have nothing to worry about. You've just confused your body a bit so have a weeks break and then start the next pack as usual.

But should I be worried because I haven't actually had a proper period?

Don't think so. some ppl will just get break thru bleeding, but there is nothing wrong with takin 2 packs in a row. My doctor said it was fine n i did it... everythin was normal with me but its prob just ur body. as long as u have ur weeks break next time then it shouldn't matter.

if your break started on saturday, that's only 3/4 days off pill free, meaning there is still 4/3 days before you start your next pack = plenty of time for a period! don't worry. x

If I don't get it within the next few days should I start to worry then? :eek:

It's highly unlikely you're pregnant. People who aren't on the Pill sometimes have their period stop for a couple of days (this happened when I was younger), then start again as though nothing had happened. It's just a difference in the balance of hormones that hasn't righted itself yet. Running to packs together may mean you body has more progesterone than usual, which helps maintain the lining of the uterus. Until the progesterone levels fall, you may not have a proper period.

So it should come soon? :confused:

Even if I don't get one during this break week, should I stay worry-free, or should I begin to worry then?

Well, if you've been having some bleeding, even if it's not as heavy as usual, it's probably a reasonable indication - besides, you lost some last week, so it might well not be as much as you would be used to.

If you get worried, the only solution is to take a test. But I would be fairly sure you're fine if you've been taking them all properly.
