If you took your pill on the first day of your period then you were protected.

However, even if not then I still wouldn't worry. The pill can seriously mess up your periods at first, remember you're putting hormones into your body - it's not going to have no effect at all, it should be explained in the leaflet in the packet.

lotus mama808 agony auntthe pill can really make your periods crazy. I dont think you are miscarrying, however, YOU MUST SEE YOUR OB if you are feeling unsure. When I started the pill, my periods got heavy, painful, and super bothersome.

I would say you're probably worrying unnecessarily. If you were to have a miscarriage this early on, you wouldn't even notice it. Your period may have just been delayed a few days more than usual by the pill, and the muddy colour is just slightly older blood. The first few periods after starting the pill can often be a bit wierd.

If you really are worried then you should take a pregnancy test or see your doctor.

However, its probably better to wait until your next period to see if its normal.
