A member asked:
On placebo pill week my period was very weird (very very light and mostly spotting) not even enough to cover tampon. first time on bcpills. normal?

Can be normal: Lower dose bc pills can result in very light periods, sometimes even no periods. I tell my patients that the lighter the bleeding, the better. Hopefully, what you're experiencing continues - it's the best case scenario.

Hi, is it possible or normal to get your period while in the middle of your pill pack (ie not taking the placebos), with all the associated pain and symptoms, 10 days before I'm even supposed to come on my period? Occasionally there is spotting.
