First time running packs together, having problems?

Question

This was my first time running my combination birth control pack, Junel-Fe 1/20 together. I was supposed to start my placebo week Sunday but I had a wedding to attend so instead of starting my placebo pills I just started a new pack. It’s day two of running my pack together and I am having horrible cramps, bloating and back pain. Is this normal? If I was actually on my placebo week I usually get my period on the last two days of the week so I am not sure why I am experiencing menstrual symptoms when I don’t have it?

Answer

I was told that that is normal and can happen occasionally when you continue without the placebo. I haven't been talking the placebo for 3yrs now, for medical reasons,  and have just been going through to new packs. My first time doing the placebo week was hard and it took a few months before I no longer had symptoms,  but if this is a one time thing I believe you should be fine. You may get spitting here and there until you get back on track though
