1.5 years on bc & now spotting Posted: 09-25-05 18:26pm


I have been on the pill for about 1.5 yrs now, and things have always been good, like ive never had spotting and my period has always been on time. But last month I needed to skip a period so just skipped the sugar pills like ur supposed to. Everything was fine too. Well until the past few days. My period usually starts 2 days after I start taking the sugar pills. But this time.. I started to spot the last day I took the hormone pills. Which was 2 days ago. Also today its a bit heavier.. And I normally wouldnt start my period till tomorrow evening. Is this normal? Or just happeneing cause I skipped my last period?

I would say that is most likely the reason for the spotting. Whenevery you "trick" your body by skipping the pills, it can kind of throw everything off kilter. I wouldnt worry about it, your period should regulate itself pretty soon.
