For the past 2 months, I have been falling into my week before my pill pack ends. I don't forget a pill and I'm not stressed at all. Does this mean that my pill is no longer working for me?

Hello, Yes, it is possible. Are you able to tell me what the name of your pill is? In situations like this, the amount of hormone in the pill is a little too low and can cause this type of situation. You need to find a pill that is a little stronger. You should also know that even if your period starts before the expected period, the pill is usually fully effective in terms of contraception. Finally, you mention stress as a possible trigger, but there are others. Starting with smoking. It is not uncommon for women who smoke to experience this type of situation with their pill. Is this the case for you?

I don't smoke and I'm taking the pill Alysena 28. I'm going to see the nurse at my school, maybe she will prescribe me another kind of pill.

Thank you for these details. Alysena does indeed contain a moderate amount of hormones. You can also call your pharmacist to contact your doctor. He will then be able to change the pill for one that contains more hormones, also considering your health condition. Have a nice day, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
