    Shorter Periods on the Pill
    Hello,
    I have been on the pill (Tri-Sprintec) for almost 2 years, and for about 4 or 5 months I was off it. I never had any problems with my period on or off the pill then. I went back on again in February of this year (2 months ago). In February I had a nasty cold while on my period. In March, I had an unusually light, almost to the point of not needing a tampon or anything (brownish) that was about 2 or 3 days late and lasted a very short time. The same thing happened this month (April) and I also have the flu at this time as well. My "period" (if that's what you want to call it) came on time, but was very very light and a brownish color. My boyfriend (of 4 years) and I have unprotected sex, but not very often, maybe 4 or 5 times a month and he pulls out each time (I know, not the best method). In March, I was not very good with my pill and missed one day (took it the next day) and maybe 3 or 4 days of the month, I took it a little later than my regular time. This past month I was very good about it and took it at the same time every day. Is my body reacting differently to my pill or could I be pregnant? I don't feel any different, just concerned about my period being drastically different than it used to be. Thanks for your help!

I started going on the pill 13 days ago on the first day of my cycle, as the doctor instructed, but my period is still going... it is never normally this long! Its still moderately heavy. Does anyone know why this could be happening? I'm so worried! :confused:
