period after 1 week on pill Posted: 03-02-08 15:59pm


I got my period 1 week after the end of my last period. I have been under alot of stress the last few weeks. I have been on the pill for 18 years. I'm on Tri-Cyclen 21. What I would like to know is will I not get a period now for this month? And should I just start a new pack right after the old one is done? I just kept taking the pills even though I was bleeding for 7 days (much longer then my usual period of 3 days!) Please I need an answer ASAP I have to start the new pack tonight if that is what I should do. Thank you!!!

NO, you should not start a new package of pills just because you have bleeding or spotting. You SHOULD start a NEW pack of pills when you are SUPPOSED to...When you finish your pack you start a new one.. You should never extend your period pills, even if your period lasts longer. You risk pregnancy by doing that. Bleeding and spotting happen to almost all women on birth control, and it is going to happen every once in awhile.
