Sprintec - Periods Back To Back?

I started taking Sprinted on the first day of my period, Friday 10/2. My period ended Saturday, 10/10 which is normal.
I started feeling breast tenderness since the 9th which is unusual for the end of my period.
Today is the 11th and period is back as if it were starting again like normal! The mild annoying pain in my abdomen too and it's not light which means I'm not spotting. I get married in 7 days and am concerned I'll have my period during the wedding. Should I keep taking the pill?

Hello, Temy! How are you? Congratulations!!

It can be normal to have irregular bleeding for the first 3 months or so, while your body is getting used to the hormonal changes caused by this oral contraceptive.

However, stopping it now would pretty much guarantee that you'd be bleeding or spotting during your wedding.

The FDA lists other typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and weight changes.

Have you consulted your doctor? They may have some idea that could help.
