Extra Period after Two Days on Birth Control
by LeilaKens, Feb 08, 2008 05:04PM
Hi! I just started taking birth control (loestrin24fe) on Sunday and continued on Monday and then quit because this just wasn't a good time for me to be taking a pill every day. So I only took two pills and then Thursday night my period started. I had actually just had my normal period the week before. This one is much lighter than usual. I didn't think just two pills would mess my cycle up.
However, I'm going out of town next weekend (7 days from now) and I really really really don't want to be on my period then. Will this period last that long? My normal period is only 5 days long. My period was only like a week ago so could there have been that much build up of blood in that time?
My other question is if I start taking the pills again today, will that help stop this other period? I would stay on them this time as I plan to start using them in the near future. I just don't want to do anything to prolong it, not sure if starting the pills again might do that. Thanks for any advice!
