I've already asked one question concerning
birth control, and after that was
answered, I had another question...
A few days ago I had some spotting, and
was on active pills still. I am now on my
second day of the "sugar" pill.
Last night, my boyfriend and I had sex but
used a condom, just incase my period
started. Well, it broke. This was the
main concern in my last question, but now
I'm just confused. These condoms are from
Planned Parenthood, we did NOTHING that
could've made them break (put them on
correctly, it wasn't too tight, etc), we
were just baffled. But, that's besides the
point.
This morning I was spotting, but the blood
was bright red, and really light. I'm
pretty sure this is the start of my
period, because the earlier spotting I had
was dark/"old" blood, and this looks like
an actual period.
What I'm asking is,
1. You're protected while taking sugar
pills, correct?
and
2. Is a bright red/light period normal for
the first month of birth control?
If there's anyone who has experienced
this/can clear up my boyfriend and i's
worrying, i'd greatly appreciate it.
