So for the first time ever I started Ortho Tricyclen Lo on Dec. 16, 2010 - first day of period. Period lasted the normal like 4 days and then it stopped and everything was fine.

But On Jan. 17, I started period again & is it normal to get period on ACTIVE pills? I got it on Wk. 2 on ACTIVES. I am still having it today. 6 days later, & it doesn't seem to be wanting to go away. Just started Week 3 of ACTIVE PILLS, too.

I think something's wrong. I'm 29, no kids.

The only birth control pills that prevent periods are Seasonale and Seasonique. With all others it is normal to have a period during the week at the end of the cycle where the sugar pills are.

Hope this helps
