I'm being neurotic about my new BCP...

Hey there. I'm a newbie. I just started BCP's last Sunday (May 9). I'm on Nordette 28. My period came late (I wasn't pregnant, probably just a whole ton of stress) and started about 45 minutes after I took my first pill. Anyway, my period pretty much stopped after 6 days, but I have a light brown-ish discharge some mornings. Is this spotting? I've never had it before and my Dr. didn't say anything about it. I also had what might be break through bleeding last night (it was like a really light period). I woke up really late yesterday so I took my pill about 2 hours later than normal. I've been taking them within an hour and a half or so since I've started and I haven't missed any pills. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that my body is just adjusting to the hormones and maybe I need to be more vigilant about taking them at exactly the same time each day? And I want to be sure that this isn't a sign yet that they're not effective. Thanks in advance for your advice. I'd love to just call my Dr., but I'm a grad student and I went to student health services so I won't really be able to see her until August.

Re: I'm being neurotic about my new BCP...

It does take a while for your body to get used to bcp and there can be spotting especially with the low dose ones from what I understand. Yes, it is a good idea to take them at the same time every day to make them the most effective but I don't think that a two hour difference would have caused the spotting.

Thumbs up Re: I'm being neurotic about my new BCP...

What is happening to you is normal. And they recommend that you take the pill around the same time everyday.. but when i was on it I took it whenever just so it was 1 a day and I never had anything go wrong.. Everyone is different- I never had spottings but my doctor did say that it was possible. Don't you worry about it.

I'm wondering why you started your BCP before you started your period? Usually one has to wait for the period, then go from there according to the instructions in the packet.
