Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
So, I know you’re supposed to start birth control on the very first day of your period, but I’m honestly a little stuck because my cycle is just super weird. Like, I never get a regular flow right away; instead, I just get these tiny, dark brown spots that look kind of clotted and really sparse—sometimes I’ll see maybe two or three of those little spots and then absolutely nothing happens until the next day when the actual bleeding finally kicks in. I was wondering if I should actually kick off the pill as soon as I notice those little brown spots, or if I should wait until the heavy lifting starts with the real flow? I'd love to hear what you guys think. :/
