Irregular Periods, On Pills In Pink Section, Got Periods By Half Way. Recommendations?

I've been on Loette for about 3 months now.
I started taking the pills in the pink section when I got my period, but now, three months later, I've had my period four times now and I've just gotten my period only half way through the packet, before i've reached the sugar pills. Its sunday, and i'm up to Wednesday on the pack and I have my period. I'm not sure what i've done wrong, I think I may have missed the sugar pills at one point and may have jumped straight to the pink pills by accident. I'm just wondering how to correct it and if there is a way to correct it without having to stop taking it.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Thee months , 4 times menses with irregular bleeding .
Forget to take proper pills.
Now in my opinion the menses ended after 4 days ( Sunday to Wednesday) so take pink tablets regularly without any interruption as regular.
Main concern is irregular bleeding so I want to tell you that loette ( levonorgesttrel+ethinylestradiol ) have following side effects as,
Menstrual irregularities , breast discomfort dizziness & many others, so this may be the reason of your irregular bleeding.
Since 3 months passed so drugs will take sometime for adjustment in body.
Good luck. Dr. HET
