Period for 1 day.
by kaysoks, Nov 11, 2009 12:17PM
I am on birth control and for the first time since I have started it I have had an irregular period. I usually skip a day here and there unintentionally but nothing like this has happened. My period was late by a day or two and it usually lasts 4 days, this week it only lasted for one day and it was much lighter (the first day is usually quite heavy and then it slows down). After that there was no more bleeding, it last from the mpning until about 9pm. Now there is a slight clear discharge with no blood what so ever. This has neve happened, i am under no sort of real stress and normally if i am stressed i will not get a period at all. i have been peeing a lot more often, i am suffering from headaches happening quite frequently. i have also have been eating a lot more than usual, i feel hungry all the time. im very concerned, could this mean im pregnant?

Hi!
I ALWAYS recommend a pregnancy test! Especially if you miss pills now and then. Your symptoms are consistent with pregnancy, and you should find out if you are and if so, stop taking your pills!
Don't stop taking them until you find out though--you don't want to get pregnant while you are waiting to find out if you are pregnant!
Good luck!
