I started my period on a Saturday, and began taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo on Sunday (first time taking birth control). Yesterday was the day I started taking the inactive pills (Sunday), but my period came as it normally would have, on Saturday, before I had even taken the last active pill. I did feel cramps all last week, although much lighter than normal, and on the day it started, I didn't feel nearly as painful cramps as I usually do. Should I be worried, though, that it didn't hold off until I started taking the inactive pills? I don't know if I'm crazy or what, but does that mean that my body is not really responding to it? Or is this normal, and it is okay that it came when it would have if I HADN'T taken the pill? (and I know its my actual period, its not spotting) (FYI: Through the first month I didn't really experience any side effects either, absolutely no spotting, just a tiny bit nauseas the first week which may be because of a pollen-headache, and a little weepy)Thanks!
