I'm on the Pill, I started 3 weeks ago. My pack has 3 rows of white and 1 row of brown pills. I just started the 3rd white row and yet for some reason, my period started. I'm confused, does this mean it's not working? This is my first pack. Does this mean I could be pregnant? But if so then why did I get my period? Ah! I'm so lost! Help!
You are NOT getting your period early. ANY bleeding you have while on the pill, that is not during your placebo week, is called "Breakthrough bleeding".
This happens to almost all women in the first 1-2 months of pill adjustment.
You ARE protected, but that does normally happen with the first pack.
