Unusual cycle

[momsquared75.livejournal.com]

Hello,

I have been on bcp for years. For the last couple of years, I take the active pills consistently to skip my periods. I typically do this in three to four month cycles. The last time I did this, it was probably for more than four months. Starting just before Christmas, I started spotting while on active pills. For about 6 weeks, I spotted on and off. Some of it was more than spotting and I needed to where a tampon. Or a pad. This has never happened in the past. With my last pack of bcp, I am taking my placebo pills. My last active pill was Saturday (four days ago). Typically I would have started my period by now. But sometimes it doesn't start until the Thursday. However, I'm not feeling any symptoms of it starting. I took a hpt two weeks ago, while spotting, which was negative. Could it be possible that the spotting/bleeding was my actual period and i will miss it this week before I start my new pack of active bcp???
