Hello, I am 21 years old. I have been on OrthoTryCyclin Lo for almost 2 years now, I am sexually active.
My question pertains to the fact that after 2 years I am experiencing a rather weird Mentrual Cycle. I started spotting 5 days before my period was due to come by the 6th day I was having a normal period, by Thursday of last week I was no longer bleeding my period had started Wednesday October 31st with light spotting while I was still on the last week of active pills, this lasted until Tuesday November 6th when I got my full blown period while on the placebo pill week, By Thursday November 8th my period was over. Tonight Saturday November 10th I discovered I had started to spot again.
On Wednesday the 31st I also had a White almost milk colored discharge with the spotting. I asked my mother about it knowing I did not have an infection and that my period was due to come on Monday November 5th, my mother advised me that it might be breakthrough bleeding though I had never had that prior to this menstrual cycle.
I would like some advice on whether or not I should contact my local Planned Parenthood that provides me with my birth control or whether I should wait it out and see what happens, I do know there is a chance that I could have gotten pregnant at anytime in the last month. Although in a class I attend we are doing UA's and Pregnancy testing and the first one done on my urine came back negative though it could have been expired and gave a false answer. Any help you can provide me would be appreciated.
addition:
I was 5 days from the day my Menstrual Period was due to start, when On the 31st I discovered a white almost milky stringy like discharge and spotting, I had had this discharge on two other occassions with no spotting. I spotted from the 31st through the 5th when I recieved my full blown period on the 6th I figured it was just my period starting early. On the 8th I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend of a year and a half and my period ended. It is now the 10th and I just started the first white active pill of Orthtricyclin Lo and tonight I discovered more spotting I had not been spotting all day then at 9 pm I started spotting.

Could this be time for new BCP, a possible pregnancy, or something more serious?
