I'm on birth control pills and this past Tuesday night/Wednesday morning I got my period, which would be fine if it wasn't during my third week of active pills. I am 99% sure this isn't just breakthrough bleeding since I haven't had that since 2 years ago during my first month of the pill and then it was only pink spotting and this is a period like all of my other ones on the pill.
So I'm wondering if this is a sign of breakthrough ovulation, since it's supposed to be that the drop in hormones is what brings on a period and the only way I can think of that I would get a period on the active pills is if my body overrode the hormones in the pill and I ovulated and got to the end of the luteal phase. If this was breakthrough ovulation I definitely want to switch methods because I couldn't trust the pill without a condom, and if I'm going to have to use a condom why bother with a pill. Oh and I took two tests, one Wednesday morning and one this morning to rule out pregnancy and both negative so I'm not worried about that.
