i've been on ortho try-cylen lo going on
9months. I've never had a problem wth
breakthrough bleeding. I've always had my
periods a day or 2 before the placebo
pills. Last month i was 4 days into the
placebo pills and i started my period,
late wed night, (that made me nervous to
say the least) my period lasted until
sunday only 4 days. 11 days into my new
pack of pills i started some light
bleeding, this is the 2nd day of it. Do i
need to worry?
Since i've never had breakthrough bleeding
when i started the pills i thought i was
over the 3 month window of breakthrough
bleeding. I took a pregnancy test when i
was later than normal in getting my
period, 2 weeks ago, and it was negative
then, could i be pregnant now? I do have
unprotected sex with my bf a 4-5 times a
week. I take an herbal multi vitamin,
glucosame, diretic, and migrane med when
needed. I've had 2 cold in the past 2
months, i've taken cold eez, sudafed, and
nasal spray. Could being sick have an
effect? Any suggestions please?

I would test again, and then call your
doctor and discuss what you've been going
through. The symptoms certainly are
interesting, especially the fact that you
get your period while still on active
pills. That could mean they aren't working
as well as they should... But maybe not.

Thanks for your suggestion! I took a test
and it was negative. I called my doc and
he said since the test was neg to just
wait it out and see if next month i have
any breakthrough bleeding again and then
he might switch to different pills. I
forgot to ask, though, how long can i
breakthrough bleed until its serious? Like
in a week or longer? i'm already going on
4 days now, it is just a light bleed but
still it's unusual. Would it stop before
my period even and if it doesnt should i
call my doctor again? i hate to keep
calling them because they're going to
think i'm a overracting nut! It's already
hard enough to call and just ask a
question since they never call you back!

If it is a light bleed then you could
literally bleed every day for years - I
know of women who have done this on bcp's.
