Question
Hello...last week I had missed my pill on Wednesday, took my pill on thursday (didn't take my missed wed pill) then missed my Friday pill. Both missed pills are left in the package. I have taken every pill since. But yesterday (3 days later) I got something like an early period. It has come and gone in the last 2 days and isn't always the red colour but a brownish like when I first got my period when I was 11. I haven't been feeling well the last couple days and I feel like I do when I have my period somewhat. Is this just because I missed those pills?

Answer
Hi Heather,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so I recommend that you check with your personal physician. In my opinion, this situation could have been because you didn't take the pills right. It is very important to take the pills exactly right. Otherwise your cycle would be abnormal. I don't recommend the pill personally, because I think that the hormones are not really healthy for a woman's body. If anything else has happened since you asked this question, just email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com or you can email me anytime about any question. P.S. Were you sexually active during the days that you mentioned?

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
