I've been on Ortho Tri since January.  Before I was pregnant, I was on it for quite a few years on and off.  So I've got my period pretty well figured out.  But this month I'm freaking out.  Usually my period is bright red and heavy and always comes on a Tuesday leaves on a Friday.

However, when my period finally came this month, a day late, it was very light and brown.  I also haven't had to wear a tampon at all today.

 I screwed up my pills at the beginning of the month but DH and I didn't have sex until like 2 1/2 weeks in (so the pills should have started working by then).  I also started taking the generic form of Zoloft on Friday for my anxiety.

Please tell me I'm thinking into this way too much!  I'm terrified to POAS again.

Between your body still trying to regulate itself and the Zoloft, I really don't think you have anything to worry about.  I was worried too for a while because my periods weren't much of anything (still aren't) and DH and I DID have sex when I missed a couple of pills.  I was terrified but POAS and it was neg.  Try not to worry.  I am sure it is just your body adjusting to a lot of new things.

This is what I thought.  Thanks!

I was on Ortho tri Lo for like 8 years, I got my period like clockwork same as you then one month I didn't get it at all. I took like 6 PT's and all negative. When I went to my OB he said this happens sometimes with Oral Contraceptives and nothing to worry about!

It can be nothing, but I would POAS to be sure. I spotted like that my entire 1st tri.
