What a Periods Supposed to Look Like Posted: 07-13-04 13:17pm
This is my first cycle on ortho tri cyclen
lo and i'm on the green reminder pills.
The day I stopped taking active ones I
started getting this really light brown
sludge and that's all it's been. You
think this will continue the rest of the
week and is that what it's supposed to
look like?
Also, do most of people's periods end the
day they take the first active pills
again? Or will it take a few days of them
to work? Because then i'd have a period
longer then 7 days and I can't take that
again.

I had similar symptoms too. I started the
pill a month ago, and everything was
bouncing off the walls.
My period came a week early, and lasted 14
days!! My doctor said this was normal for
the first pack of pills, and not to worry
about it. Finally, I stopped bleeding,
and I just started my second pack of pills
2 days ago.
The brownish sludge is normal too, it
happened to me and it lasted a couple of
days. Don't worry about it.
If this continues though after ur 3rd pack
of pills, you probably need a new
medication. Ortho tricyclen lo might be
too strong or not strong enough for ur
body.
