Alright, so... I've been on Ortho TriCyclin Lo for 3 and a half months now. Last month my period started a full week before the placebo pills. When for 2 months it did start during the blank pills. This month I spotted the last couple days and now it appears that it's here to hang out for the week. I don't start the empty week of pills until next Sunday. True, I'm not fantastic about remembering to take them on time... I'd forget one and then take two the next night. A few days later I'd forget again and take 'em both the next day.

Also, I bought my bike at the end of July of this year. I'd been active before and workout a couple days a week... until May I'd been a member of our local Curves workout joint. But that's nothing like biking for an hour 3 or so days a week alternating with a day or two of jogging (I generally give myself a day or two off)... I've only dropped 10-14 pounds in 3 months... depending on the particular morning. My weight tends to fluctuate.

I only have my period once a month and it seems normal. I suppose that I could call my healthcare provider. I'm not presently sexually active, so I'm not worried about becoming pregnant... and I hadn't been on any form of birthcontrol before the pill. I'm just wondering if my body is confused.
