Sometimes the cycles can change even though woemn are on teh same pill. If you are taking the pill as you always have and aren't taking other new medications (or herbs), it shouldn't be a problem. the liklihood of pregnancy remains quite low. If you are concerned about it, you can always check a pregnancy test. If there are increased irregularities in your cycle, call your medical provider.
