Period doubt
I've been on ovral-l contraceptive since December and have been extremely consistent with it. I haven't missed any pills or even been late in starting a pack ever. I've gotten my period regularly since then, in every 28 days exact. Since the last 3 cycles, my period has become slightly lighter and lasts a day less than usual. It lasts 4 days rather than 5 or 6 days like it did from December to February. I track my ovulation date and safe period despite the pill and on some occasions, I've had unprotected sex 3 to 5 days before ovulation too. Should I be concerned or is a lighter period normal?
Also, are there any chances of pregnancy?
My period also has been starting a day earlier than usual, i.e. less than 72 hours after the last pill in the 21 day pack. My cycle is 27 days instead of 28. Plz advise
