Period: It may be your diet pills but check a pregnancy test and make sure you are using good birth control and protection. All the best.

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.

My period was over 2 weeks late but normal, though it's usually consistent and now 13 days later I'm spotting again. I'm not on the pill. This normal?

Is brown spotting normal at end of period? Im on low dose birth control. Im supposed to end my period tomorrow since I start active pills.
