Please help!! i stopped taking my birth control 5 days ago and now i have my period 2 weeks early??

This is normal: Whenever you stop birth control pills you can expect to have what is known as withdrawal bleeding. This is why you spot or bleed when you forget a pill. If you stop pills in mid-cycle, you will bleed early. This will straighten out on its own whether you restart your pills or not but do not restart the same package now. Hope this helps.
