Minastrin 24 Fe Period Or Pregnant?

Hi, I've been taking Minastrin 24 for two months now. In my second month I had missed a couple pills but made them up and I had only fully missed one pill (meaning I didn't take it at all). My boyfriend and I had been intimate and everything with the pull out method. Now I am 21 days late on my period. After I was done with the white set I just stopped taking the birth control. I have regular periods. Around one week before my period I experienced a weird period that was just spotting. Very light, only last 2 days. Didn't even need a tampon. Is this normal? I'm basically asking if that was considered a period? Will I get my next cycle?

Hello, Lindsay! How are you? Has anything changed?

It can be normal to have very light and short periods, while taking oral contraceptives. That's why may women like taking them. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and PMS-like symptoms.

If you just stopped taking them, it is also likely that you've thrown off your hormonal balance, which can cause irregular bleeding for awhile, until your body readjusts.

However, if you missed a pill, then there is a slight risk of pregnancy, since the pull-out method isn't always perfectly reliable.
