I’ve been on tricyclen for almost 5 years and it’s been great. Lately I’ve been bad about taking my pill at the same time every day though. My boyfriend and I always use a condom anyway. This month, I started spotting about 2 weeks ago, and I’m supposed to have my period this week. I think it’s just because I wasn’t taking the pills at the same time every day, but I’m a little worried because I doubt my period, if I even get one, will be normal this week. I’ve set a daily alarm so I’ll be back on track next month. Should I do anything else?

Yes, most likely the spotting you are experiencing is because you are not taking your pills at the same time every day. Setting your alarm is a good idea. You can also get daily reminders by text or by e-mail by registering on www.bedsider.org.
