Early Period with PCOS

I've had PCOS for 10 years (diagnosed at 14) and have been managing my symptoms with the pill since then.

My usual pattern is two months on, seven days off, and when I stop taking the pill it can take several days to actually come on. I'll still keep the days off as seven, though – which sometimes means I'll be bleeding when I restart the pill. This is not unusual for me.

However, my most recent period came on two days early. I had two pills left to take, but woke up with what I'd describe as the start of a period for me. As far as I'm aware this is the first time it has happened. And even though I've lived with PCOS for this long, I'm still not wholly educated on the topic. Has anyone else started their period early while still taking the pill?

My plan will be to visit my GP if the symptoms continue. Until then, this forum was my go-to!
