Missed BC for a week; now LONG period! 😭

Melissa

I currently take Lo Loestrin Fe, which I’m not a fan of because it sees to give me migraines.

On a trip, I forgot to take my pills, so after missing three pills, I scrapped the pack to start with a new one. I wound up missing one week of pills.

Soon thereafter, I got my period, which was a bummer because since I’d started the pill my period had been light, spotty, or nonexistent. But this time, I got it in full force.

For one week, I had a heavy period. Then, it turned into spotting. Finally, went away completely.

I had sex with my boyfriend, and boom! Period is back! Again with a vengeance! That means in three weeks, I’ve had my period twice.

Is this normal? Should I be worried?
