A member asked:
I switched from portia birth control to junel fe 1/20. the second week on junel was period-like. now no period on placebo week. pregnant?

Probably not: The change in pills can throw your period off. The junel is very low dose and therefore causes periods to be very light -sometimes just spotting. If you keep taking them , the breakthru bleeding should get better. If you are still worried about pregnancy, do a pregnancy test and trust the results.
