Was originally on loestrin generic bcp and recently switched to non-generic loestrin pill. my period came 2nd wk and 3rd wk. preg? never missed pill

Not necessarily preg: You can have spotting for three months whenever you change contraceptives. Did you take any antibiotics or steroids that might alter the hormone levels? It never hurts to run a home pregnancy test for reassurance.
