Ok...Im confused...Maybe someone can help
here. I am on ortho tricyclen lo, have
been for 8 months. My periods usually
come around the 2nd to 3rd sugar pill.
Well I still have 4 more active pills
before the sugar pills and I started
bleeding today, is that normal?

I've heard that this can happen to some
women.

Ok now another question has popped
up...Lol. If this is in fact my period
should I continue taking the pills as
usual since I still have 3 active ones
left? My period usually lasts 6 days so
that means me going 3 days with no pill
after my period is done. Or should I
just start a new pack the day after my
period ends? Im worried about those
three days that I wont be taking any
pills.

Normally for me, my period starts on day 4
of the sugar pills (thursday, cause i'm a
monday start) and lasts through saturday.
So that means I go one day after my period
on the sugar pills. Even if my period
started sooner, like on day two, i'd still
wait that full week before starting the
next pack.
Since some women spot while on the pills
normally, i'd sa it's pretty safe for yout
o keep taking those two active pills you
have left and then start on the sugar
pills. That way, your schedule will stay
the same.
