Hi! My period has started even though I
still have 4 active pills left. I've been
on the exact same birth control for over 2
years now, and this has never happened
before. There is no chance I'm pregnant,
so should I be concerned or is this
normal? Thanks!

If you are concerned, you really need to
call your doctor and ask.

It IS normal to occasionally have
breakthrough bleeding, missed periods, or
irregularity while on the pill, although
it can be annoying.
Likely causes for breakthrough bleeding
in women who have been on the pill long
term.
Antibiotic use
Saint johns wort usage
certain RX drugs usage
Missing a pill
taking a pill later than usual
