"not sure why you all have had issues. mind us not taking it correctly but i have never took bc before so....i have been taking this birth-control for nine months now with no side effects whatsoever. i take it for three weeks, get my period on monday and start taking another pack the following sunday (only 3 rows). i don&#039;t take it as regularly as i should, i skip a day or two and then take the two that i missed. i&#039;ve been doing that the last 3 to 4 months. i started spotting but i have another week left of birth. i know this happens but hasn&#039;t with me missing pills. should i be worried that i have not gotten pregnant (i have never been pregnant before and worry i may not be able to) or is this just normal."
