Period 2 weeks early on the pill Posted: 03-12-08 17:08pm


Hey Girls, I've gotten my period 2 weeks early. I'm 27 years old and have been on the pill for 5 years or so (or more). At times when I am under stress I have gotten my period early. But this time I'm not under any stress, and don't see any reason why I should have received it early. First I got it yesterday (brownish) and today i am spotting red and can feel it in my lower stomach (like as if i was having a period). Any suggestions based on experience would be great. Thanks

It sounds like breakthrough bleeding. Are you taking your pill on time every day? If you are late or miss a pill, chances of spotting are very high. Are you on any kind of antibiotic? This will sometimes make the pill less effective and cause spotting as well. If it continues, you should go to your doctor to talk about what is going on and maybe switching brands.

same experience Posted: 03-15-08 19:11pm


i've had the same thing happen to me... i have been on birth control for the past 4 years, and switched from alesse to yaz about 7 months ago. this month, though, i got my period a week and a half early. i don't think i'm under any stress that is out of the ordinary - in other words, i have been under much greater stress in my life and have not experienced early periods. i DID, however, take one pill almost 13 hours late about a week ago... perhaps that is also contributing to the early period.
