Why AF midway through BC pack

[janine]

Here we go again, I have AF 1/2 way through a BC pack (happened to me too with mini pill). I am on Loestrin. This is my 2nd month on it.

I would think it means a drop in hormones, but why if I'm mid pack. It is full flow AF for couple days now, ugh. Well not like I'm DTD anytime soon.

ME TOO! Ugh. I'm also on Lo Loestrin. And mid-way through the pack I started bleeding pretty heavily (not as heavy as true AF, but it lasted for 3 full days and was definitely more than just spotting). I'm not sure what the deal is, and I'd switch to something else but am still BFing and need to be on the "low" version for the time being. I've been on this for months (6+ months) and every other month or so I end up with this mid-month mini period. It sucks!

I'm not on Lo and my AF was full on 7 days. WTF? Since this is my 2nd month I'll give it one more month, since I know my dr. will say...oh it takes 3 months to regulate. I never had these issues before I had #2, and really don't see how regulating means hormone drop midway through white pills.

Ugh, hope yours gets better.
