worried

[flyygurl23]

I missed my pill completely on Tuesday and I had unprotected sex that night. I also woke up and I was spotting. Now it is Wednesday and my period is really early and it is a light flow.  Now my period is always a heavy flow because of me being on the depo shot for 2 years.  I want to know is it normal for my period to come 5 days early and for it to be a light flow(so light it is actually spotting)?

You are spotting because you missed the pill.  If you were mid pack in your cycle then it's highly unlikely you are having a period.  Your body is experiencing a chemical withdrawl.  You should have doubled up on the pill the next day,(take the pill from the day you missed the next day along w/that days pill.)  Anyway, you "threw" off your cycle, so you may have erratic bleeding for a while.

This is my week to get my period but its jus 5 days earlier I always get my period at the end of the surgar pills. And today I am jus spotting there is no actual period jus spotting very light.  The reason I did not take a pill is because I lost that pill for the day and the pill that I missed was for my last week before I get my period. I hope I explained a little better so someone can help.  I also have been very up to taking my pill this month but my pervious 2 months I wasn't that well with keeping up.  Please help

so was it only a sugar pill that you forgot? because in that case you are totally protected.

No it wasn't the surgar pill I missed it was one of the pills of the week before because I never take my surgar pills

Well that explains why you got your period early.  You missed 1 birth control pill and didn't make up for it.  It's sure to screw w/your cycle.  If your spotting, it probably will develop in to a full period soon.  Don't worry too much.

You are spotting as a result of not taking your pill....I wouldn't think you are at risk for pregnancy, since it is late in your cycle...but as most of us have learned....anything is possible!

where in your pill pack are you?? it is funny you would start spotting that soon, usually your period takes a day or two to come after the last pill (or in this case) what your body thought was the last pill.  the spotting is probably because missed a pill, if you doubled up on the next day you should be okay, but keep taking the pills until the pack is done, regardless of whether or not your spotting sudsides or continues. also if you're really worried, use a backup until next month.
