Birth Control questions
I have been taking birth control the kind that makes you get your period every three months. I have now been taking it for 6 months now and I am not supposed to get my period till the end of this surrent month. But yesterday and today its as seem i have gotten my period. I have cramping and have blood clots. I was wondering if i should take my 7 period pills early and push through this? or what else can i do. I dont understand why this is happening when im not supposed to have my period yet.

Your approach is totally wrong. Birth control pills, should be taken according to the order over the pills sheet. You shouldn't not take them during menstruation/ bleeding per vagina.at age of 20, mostly you may be having Polycystic ovaries
Next Steps
the correct way of taking pills is, start them on day 5 of menstruation and continue for 21 days , then on 22nd day , menstruation starts and then continue after menstruation.
Health Tips
rather than pills, to get regular menstruation, do yoga, exercise, good diet, maintain good haemoglobin levels.
