Possible Pregnancy or Irregular Period: What to Do?

Question
I asked a question before, but I just started my period on Monday the 29th in the middle of the night, I didn't even know until I went to the bath room and there was dark stain on my panties. I am on the 28 day cycle of my birth control and on the  sugar pill this week. My period is not normal I have only used a thin panty liner I am not on my period today, it is like it stopped. is this normal. I had intercours without protection before i started the pills and the 7th day into taking the pills. Is my period normal? I have never had a light period like this before, should i take a pregnancy test or wait until next month to see if I have any other signs.

Answer
Nicole,

It could be that your body is just adjusting to the birth control pills, or you could be pregnant.  You could take a home pregnancy test.  It is more likely that this is just your bodies way of adjusting to the hormone changes than it is that you are pregnant.  However, it is best to be sure either way.  I recommend that you call your OB/GYN and tell him/her what is going on and have them send you for some blood work to confirm if you are pregnant or not.  Good luck!
