| 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.
