QuestionHi I am a 18 year old girl who is sexually active and has been taking ortho tri cyclen lo since august. I have gotten my period regularly on the pill but a few days ago, saturday, I got a light brownish period like discharge, the same day of my last green active pills. I am supposed to get my period tomorrow, should I be worried about pregnancy?
AnswerIf you get your period, don't worry. If you miss your period, wait an additional seven days and take a pregnancy test. if the test is negative, you are not pregnant.You can get your "period" any time during the placebo pills. Remember, this is not a real period but rather a breakthrough bleeding due to being on the pill.
