Im on my third month of birthcontrol and had 2 periods in one month

Guest

Hi. Im on my third month. I started my period on the day I expected to. On the week of my period, I had sex with my hubby. After that, I had brown discharge. 17 days later I started my period again. Im scared. Is something wrong with me?

This sounds like breakthrough bleeding and it is a common side-effect of the pill that happens in the first three or four months of taking the pill. Consult the leaflet that came with your birth control for more details!

Be aware, that although it can happen for no reason at all and is perfectly harmless, it can be a sign your pill taking is becoming erratic > so bear that in mind in the future.
