question regarding pill and AF

[Rach75]

ok I think this is the right spot if not please move

ok might sound stupid I went on the pill this cycle haven't been on any contraception besides condoms in 10years, only ever took pill for 12mths over 10 years ago

so anyway question is I know you get AF once you start the sugar pills, so I started them on wed, friday woke to what I thought was AF and she was here big time, TMI!! used one tampon and since then been barely nothing..have stopped using tampons and using a pad and besides when I got to the toilet for TMI TMI !!! #2 it barely more than light streaking so the question is this normal should I have expected AF by now I Ihave 3 more sugar pills to take...

I seriously have no idea feel like a complete twit asking

[Rach75]

come on someone must have a clue

I would say its your body adjusting. It can be very normal to have alot lighter periods than you are used to. Also if you are taking the mini pill, I was told by my doctor that some people don't get a regular period on them.


Maybe give it another month and see if your body levels out?

nope regular pill..........this is more than light i'm not complaining if this is it YAY!!! just seems weird

I think it's possible being on the pill has lightened AF dramatically. Some pills do this and it doens't mean AF will last whole sugar pill part of the packet. I know when I was taking the pill AF used to only last 2-3 days and on the 3rd day only requiring a liner.

Just keep an eye on it...if you or your DH notice other changes such as mood swings and so on, get it checked out.
