Check with the doc, but this could be normal. Your body goes through changes with that stuff and sometimes it does the same thing when you're on birth control. I've noticed that mine goes through changes once in awhile. I keep an eye on things, but it's usually just doing its thing and it's fine.

I'm on the Nuva Ring right now and I've noticed that the week before it's supposed to come out, that I start getting a little bit of PMS type symptoms, which I've found odd because the amount of hormones doesn't change THAT much and I could technically just not have a week off. But this started happening about 6 months ago. I've been to the doc and everything is normal. The body does things just because sometimes.

Just keep an eye on any other funky symptoms. I guess the big question is if you've had sex or have you not taken the pill at the right time?

It sounds normal but you might want to contact your doctor to just confirm.
