vaginapaginaSo...I'm confused!
I've been on FemconFe since April of 2007, and since then I have never, ever missed a pill or failed to take it at the same time each day. I am sexually active with a monogamous partner, and we always use condoms.
Once, I skipped the placebo week, since it coincided with vacation. I had no problems.
I did it again on January 25, because I was visiting my boyfriend for his birthday. [We're college freshmen in a LDR], and I didn't have any issues. Again, I just started my new pack of pills.
Two days ago, though, I started spotting a brownish color. Since then it has gotten heavier and has been turning redder, and now it just resembles a period.
Has this ever happened to you? I'm not sure what to do... make an appointment with the gynecologist on campus? Stop taking the pills and start my placebo week?
On a side note...I've always wondered how one on the pill knows whether she's pregnant. The period is a "fake one," no? It's a period without ovulation? So, if one were pregnant, would she still get these fake periods?
Thank you so much for the help!
