hey
 from what i know spotting is normal when your on the pill, but im a little scared because last friday i took my "friday" pill and fell asleep. i woke up that same night thinking i didnt take my pill and took saturdays by accident. i didnt realize i made this mistake until i took my "sunday" pill on saturday. i didnt take anything on sunday, i just continued my pack as normal, my sister (who is also on the pill) told me i should be fine, maybe have my period early or late, but again i forgot that i did this last week and had un-protected sex today (friday), right after this i noticed that im spotting but shouldnt have my period until this coming wednesday or thursday. i am such an id**t but this week has been so hectic, if anyone knows what i should do please respond. im not ready to have children yet. :(

Hi All,

I was wondering if you could shed some light. Basically i am on birth control, but i have never agreed to any other them and always bleeding with them.

I took a pill really late on day as i forgot, and the next day i started brown/red €potting, this lasted a whole week before my period is due, whilst feeling cramping,bit sicky and stomach feels really ''heavy'' and its in the morning that its mor apparant and really sore and cramping hurts. My period was due sunday and now its tuesday and nothing, its totally gone, so still awaitng for it to happen as i am in my 7 day break between pills and just wondering if any of you could shed some light on my situation????

I am not currently sexually active and I am on the "pill". I'm no expert at this but I would say that the spotting is not caused by pregnancy because like I said there is no way that I could be pregnant and I am having the spotting. Simply skipping a pill or not taking it at around the same time daily can affect this and it just depends on your body how it reacts. I can definitely say that if you are on the pill and plus you used a condom that is like double protection so I would not worry about being pregnant. Stress can sometimes cause spotting or early periods so if you are highly stressed maybe you need to take a load off and that will help. Like I said I am by far no professional but from personal experience I would say don't freak out about it as much as you are.

Please help me icebreaker I started taking birth control at the end of June and everything was good until the week before my period I started spotting but I thought that it was because I was used to starting alittle earlier then when I was suppose to start with my birth control pills so I didn't worry about it. Two weeks after I got off my period I started spotting again I let it go for a week and then I called my doctor and they switched me to something else and it has been two weeks now and I'm still bleeding. Please help me it is getting so annoying not to mention that I am getting married in a month and a half and I need this taken care of.

Hello I am currently on 'the pill'  (yaz) I never take the pill any late and a few days ago I started having brown spotting. It isn't much though and i should have my period in a week. Is spotting between your period normal?

like her i am on birth control as well but i missed two days saturday and sunday, i freaked out and took 2pills on monday and then noticed that i was starting to spot. i lost my pack and ended up starting a new one on that tuesday. It is now saturday and i am still spotting, i mainly see it when i whipe or i might have some discharge in my panties. Could i be pregantn or is this becuase i messed up my cycle by skipping and starting a new pack?

To be honest i just had been to busy and forgot, i am sexually active but for the most part i am very good about taking my pill.

I am having a similiar situation except I have been on the same birth control for 6mths. I take the kind where you have a peripd every 4months. I NEVER miss a pill and always take it at 10pm on the dot, I set an alarm. However, for the past 2 weeks now I have been having horrible cramping, pain in my left side where my ovary would be, nausea, fatigue, and discharge like you. At first it was just a light brown when I wiped and lasted like that for 2 days and went away. Then after a couple days it came back, and then the other day switched to red with tissue like a period but only lasted an hour before resorted back to brown. My husband and I had sex on wed May 2nd and I started my symptoms and spotting Tues 8th. I hear implantation bleeding occurs bewteen 6-12 days after fertilization could have occurred. I am suppose to start my placebo pills this sunday May 20th...but am wondering if what I have been experiencing is breakthrough bleeding, which I find odd seeing as how I have not had any for 6months on this pill, or if it was implantation bleeding or pregnancy occurred. What do you think?

I think it should be normal. The pill can be wacky at times.

Okay I was on try-cyclen also and I started having a bloody discharge. I freaked out! But I went to the doctor and they told me my body had kind of built an ammunity to the pill and that I need to switch. I'm now on orthro-cyclen
