A member asked:

I've been on bc for a long time& always have a regular period.today i woke up cramping, bloated, & light bleeding.this is 1 1/2 weeks early.why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menses irregular: Menstrual irregularities are very common and most often have little meaning, many possible predisposing factors and minimal if any consequences. Relax and see what happens next month.
