Okay, so I've been taking OTC-Lo for the past two years with little to no problems. I take my pills everyday at 6pm - like clockwork, I have a extremely annoying alarm on my cell phone to make sure I do.
However, for some reason I got my period on Jan 26 - Right at the beginning of my third week of pills (last week of active ones). I don't think it was spotting because it was just like one of my normal periods. It ended around Jan 31-Feb 1.. I figured to stay protected I should finish out my pack, so I went on taking the pills as normal. However, today, a few days into my sugar pills, I'm bleeding again?!
I'm a university student, but I honestly don't think this is stress related because it's the beginning of the semester. Everything with the family and SO is fine, too. I haven't changed my diet at all either.
Any idea why I'm getting this again? Which would be considered my 'period'? Should I start a new pack? Will my next month be screwed up again?
Thanks in advance!
