BCP question

So...

I started the pill a week and a half ago. At that time my OB said start taking on Sunday (I had yet to get my post partum 1st period), so I started taking.

Well yesterday I start getting cramps and all that goes with it. Is it common to get your period when you start a new pill if you have not finished the pack?

Will I get it again in 1.5 weeks when I finish the pack? 

Or is this only "spotting?" Even with cramps?

This happen to anyone?

Re: BCP question

  • I am probably the last person to be giving advice on this considering I haven't been on the pill in a long time and my last period was February....

    However, I would consider it breakthrough bleeding which happens a lot on BCP when you first get on them.  Is it enough you need a pad/tampon or just a little?

  • i would think that because you've only been on the pill 1.5 weeks your body hasn't had enough time to absorb the hormones to get regulated to the BCP cycle. you will probably have a small period again by the end of the pill pack. 
  • Ash- I def needed something this morning and yesterday for a bit; right now it is kind of light but cramps are enough to make me take something.

    Kim- Thanks for the insight- Boo for another one. Lame.

  • Yeah, I'm guessing it will let up but you'll have a regular one at the end of your pack.  Yay, you!

    I had a month like that last October where the BCP they had me on did that.  It was super fun *sarcasm*
