This is my first time posting here :)
I am 41 years old. I have been on the pill for 20 years with 2 breaks while I was pregnant (planned) My kids are 19 and 14. I always take my pills on time. Usually will or have had breakthrough bleeding some months. Never really heavy spotting though. The month of March I decided to take my next pack of pills at an earlier time in the evenings but still before bedtime, like at 8pm instead of 10 pm. I also started getting up early (5am) for workouts at the gym instead of doing them in the evenings.
I started my period a week early in March. I started the Wednesday of my last week of active pills. It was heavier than spotting because I remember using a tampon a few times, and going through a few mini pads that week. It lasted about 6 days. I usually have light periods anyway but I was done bleeding about 2 days before my usual start date during the inactive pills. I had sex 2 weeks before I started bleeding and also the day I started bleeding.
Any ideas of why the early period? Was it my period? Could I be pregnant? COuld changing up my daily routine bring an early period?
