Thanks but I I was only on the bc for 2days and was having unprotected sex and I forgot mi pill and almost everyday that month we had sex. So I. Skipped sat and continued sun cause at the time I didn't know I was suppose to double up just like I didn't know that it takes a whole month to get in your system until I called mi doc. But anyway this is day 3 of light bleeding I barely have to change mi pad throughout the whole day. I've never had a period like that its usally light the first and starts to get heavy. But yesturday I took a preg test and its weird cause at first its jus 1 line then a few mins later I saw a faint line like I did wit mi first. But this is confusing idk wat to think.

The period you describe is normal for being on birth control. You may want to try to be extra diligent about taking your pill this month, and use a backup method of birth control if you really don't want to get pregnant at this time. If you are really concerned about that test, you can either take another home pregnancy test in a few days, or request a test from your doctor's office to be sure.

Hi jazzyj,
January 18, 2011 - 7:38amThanks for you question, and for finding EmpowHER. More than likely it is your period if you have finished all your pills. Try to be more diligent about taking your pills when you're supposed to, and you may want to use a backup form of birth control (condom or withdrawal method for example) until you've taken the pill for seven days without forgetting. Most information that comes with the pill suggests using backup for the first month, but at the very least, the first seven days.

Good luck and let us know how you're doing.
