Same thing is happening to me, but I am not on antibiotics, nor was I previously. I just keep taking the blue pills, thinking my period is going to go away. But every afternoon I bleed. I have been on the pill for 8 months this time, and years before this and I have never experienced this much bleeding from missing one pill. If I am pregnant am I harming the baby?

I have been on levlen ed for 2 years now and at the begging of this pack i missed 4 tablets (because the pharmacy was shut down because of a fire), so on the Tuesday when i got my new packet i took all 4 at the same time, then i was sick that night, so i didn't take any one Wednesday because i was scared i would be sick again, so on Thursday i took Wednesdays pill and on Friday i took Fridays and Thursdays pill, and on Saturday i went back to normal, taking the pills at the same regular time. But my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex on the Tuesday and the Wednesday (after i was taking the pills regularly again) then i read on the packet that i was supposed to wait 7 days before having unprotected sex after i had missed a pill. Now it is Monday (and Saturday was 7 days after i had started taking them regularly again) and during the weekend i have been lightly bleeding but a browny color. I'm really worried that i might be pregnant but i cant find out by a test until next Wednesday which is the day that I'm supposed to get my period. If any one has any advise for me it would be muchley appreciated.

you have to take the sugar pills, you can't just keep taking blue pills it doesn't allow the body to cycle regularly, it will decrease your chances of getting pregnant ever..or having any kind of a regular cycle. last time i tried to skip my period i ended up still getting it for the night i was preventing it from happening on, and it lasted 2 weeks. so i just take them all, sugar pills included & deal with the 3-5 days a month.

i have been taking birth control for four months now. the fist month i was off with my bleeding and i bled more than not. the next two months were completely normal and the pill seemed to be working.
however, on the week i was having a period at the end of the week during the third month, my boyfriend and i tried sex for the first time. he didnt have a condom but he pulled out.
it has been about three weeks since then and just today i got a brownish color blood and cramps. im not supposed to start my period for another week. im wondering if this could be a sign of pregnancy, and if there is anything i can do.

im only 15 so i really need help.

I had this same problem. Period before your expected period, light, dark discharge with blood and terrible cramps before and while on my period and breakthrough bleeding. Isnt BC supposed to help all of this? I took ortho tri cyclen lo, and i just went to my GYN and she told me that this happened because it is a low hormone dosage and that it wasnt enough for me, so she just changed me to regular ortho tri cyclen, we'll see how it goes after that.

Lol i Love how people post like they know wtf they are talking about. I had this problem a while back and it means the pills you are taking are not strong enough. Your body has gotten used to the dosage, get a stronger pill prescribed from your doc!

ive been on the pill for over a year. i just started my next month of pills, a week into and ive began bleeding. a very dark brownish colour. why does this happen? i missed one pill but took it the next day, usually it takes more than one day of missing it to make anything happen....

I have been on the pill for over a year now, my period finished and then a few days later I began spotting with a dark brown type blood. This has lasted 3 weeks now. Could this be because my pill is no long strong enough or a more serious health issue?
