Why did my past period do this?

Question

I am on Ortho Novum 35, 24 yrs old. I had sex once before my period and once after my period. (protected sex) I am on Venom Hyperdrive 3.0 (Weightloss Pill). I have lost about 15lbs in a month. Well, my period was irregular. I always start on a Wednesday and Finish by Sunday night. My period was extremely light this time. I also only did the actual bleeding for 2 days and the rest was more like red brown spotting. Could it be the weightloss, birth control, weight loss pills? And now its Wed., which normally would be the 3rd day after my period finishes. I feel like I am on my period. When I wipe, I have a slight light brown, almost yellow discharge that smells like a period. What is it?

I've been on the pill for several years. Ortho Novum for about 5yrs.

Answer 1

First of all it takes you body sometimes up to three full months to adjust to birth control pills. Sometimes you will have spotting when your normal period would have been until your body gets used to the new hormone cycle. If you have been on the pill longer than 4 months I would secondly look at your wieght loss. It is true women who have rapid weight loss or exercise intensely can miss periods or not have them at all. Thirdly, I doubt the issue is caused by the weight loss pill itself but it is always a possiblity. The discharge you are having sounds a like spotting when your period should have been. If you have any doubts see your gyne doctor as soon as possible.

I agree with question md. If you have a question, your doctor should be able to help you. But anyways, I hope all is well.
