Switched birth control mid pack now I have my period in the middle of my new birth control?

I have been really worried and scared, but I saw my actual doctor last week and she said it is okay, exactly what you are saying . I am dealing with lots of stuff, I am sorry to ask you guys so many questions, I have an anxiety disorder and I am seeking treatment but I just need reassurance. Thank you so much Rosa,

Hi Livelife,

It's been a week since you posted this-- I'm sorry for the delay in response. Remember to give your body a chance to adjust to a new pill. How have you been after you posted this?

Hi Rosa, I am kinda worried, last month my period was on time and it happened on the fourth day of the inactive pills while on Ortho Tri Cyclen lo..this month I am the 3rd active pill away from being on inactive pills, therefore I should get my period on Sunday. I have been sexually active but I have taken the pill on time, regularly, and my boyfriend uses condoms and does not ejactulate....I am really worried that something can be wrong. I am starting to spot kind of a light pinkish color, it seems like it could be breakthrough bleeding. :( I am really scared its my fourth month with this specific brand.

Okay, thank you so much!

Hi livelife,

You may be experiencing breakthrough bleeding. Breakthrough bleeding can occur when you change birth control pills or when you miss a pill, taking antibiotics, or are sick.

Please continue taking your pills as prescribed, the breakthrough bleeding does not mean that they aren't working.

You may experience this for the next couple of months, until your period regulates itself.

Best,

Rosa
