I am taking birth control and got my period about a week before I should have.?

Question

My period usually lasts about 2 1/2 days and is very light, this time it started out as spotting and is now very heavy. Does anyone know what this could mean?

Answer 1

you have vaginal cancer

Answer 2

This is normal if you're still in your first 3 months of taking the birth control.  If you've been taking it longer than that, tell your doctor so he can prescribe you another one.

Answer 3

I think it is normal because I on the birth control pill and I was coming on at different times sometimes every month until my body adjusted 2 the medicine. Then it started to "come in" regular. So dont be wooried you are fine. Whoever wrote that answer sayin u have vaginal cancer they are WRONG!!!!

Answer 4

It all depends when you started taking your BC pills, how long have you been on them? Sometimes you can have breakthrough bleeding when your BC aren't strong enough...

being sick, taking other medication, especially antibiotics can affect your BC pills. I would check in with your doc. & see what she/he says...
