on Friday Nov. 3rd, I started what I thought was my period. it was rather light, but I thought that was just a side effect of Plan B, which I had taken a few weeks earlier. by Sunday the 5th, I was still bleeding a little so I decided to go ahead and start taking my birth control. the bleeding stopped for a few days, then on Friday the 10th, I got which I assume was my ACTUAL period. it was a lot heavier, much like my normal period.

is it bad that I started my pill pack a full week early? does that have any effect on how my birth control will work?

also, I am taking Tri Sprintec. recently I noticed little bumps all over my arms and they itch really bad at points. could this be a side effect of my pills? and would it be a wise choice for me to ask my doctor about switching to another pill, or should I give it more time? thanks everyone!
