I'm on birth control, Ortho-low. I was on my placebo week and off my period by Thur. On Saturday night we had unprotected sex (3/8). I started a new pack on Sunday as normal (3/9). Everything was fine until this last sunday (3/23) I suddenly started feeling nauseous and unable to eat. On monday I gained my appetite back, but as soon as I ate breakfast I became extremely nauseous again for the entire day. Tuesday I was ok, but now here we are Wednesday and I have brown discharge... not much... just spotting. My period isn't suppose to start till after Sunday.... I never spot before my periods... what are the possibilities of pregnancy?

I have been on bc for 4 1/2 years and my period came two days early, lasted a day, and has just been spotting for the last 3 days. I start my new bc pack tomorrow. Should I take a pregnancy test first or just not worry about it? My periods have always been like clockwork since being on the pill.

I wouldn't worry so long as you've taken the pill correctly. Also FYI: you are on the pill so you don't actually get periods; all you are getting when you bleed on the pill is "withdrawal bleeding" which occurs due to taking the placebo pills and withdrawing from synthetic hormones. In other words, you don't actually ovulate if you take the pill correctly.

Hey I just got on birth control and i've taken it just about a whole week now. I am sexually active. I shouldn't get my period till like the 30th of this month. I was with my partner, wasn't protected either. He didn't cum or anything and it wasn't long like 10 minutes, even tho i know the time doesn't really matter. This morning when i wiped I saw a light blood spot it was red. it didn't appear then I saw it again after i got home i did have sex again with him earlier but it was for 10 minutes same thing as before we stopped and said we cant do this anymore not unprotected, it is risky. So my main question is it normal to spot early? like I hope im not pregnant..

I am also on the pill but on Friday the 16th of January i stopped taking my pill because my partner and I are trying to have a baby, I've been on the pill for a year and a half almost two years now and that Friday night we tried and Friday 16th through Monday 19th I was spotting. My last period was December 16th - 20th, 2014 but I was also spotting January 1-3, 2015. On my menstrual cycle app it says I was fertile January 10th-14th and ovulate the 15th and fertile the 16th which was the night we tried . I would like help on when to try because my partner is in the service and he comes down every two weeks, the next time he comes down is Friday the 13th of February and it says on my app that I'm fertile February 7th-11th and ovulate the 12th and fertile the 13th. It's been 1 week since I've been off my pill and i would like to get pregnant fast. Please help me

I am on the pill and was due to get my period on Tuesday just gone, but I didnt get it. Last week I spotted for 2 days and then bled quite heavily for 2 days. Once in the last 2 weeks, I forgot to take my pill one day so I took it the next morning and then the current days pill that night. I've spotted before, but always got my period in one form or another when it was due. Is this normal?

Hi I'm 19 currently in college, I just had sex for the first time and I'm still having sex with the same person. I'm now on birth control but sometimes after sex I begin to spot please tell me what it means I pray that I am not pregnant because it would really mess things up for me .

HI there, I have just started the combined pill and on the first few weeks of taking it. I have 3 more pills to take before i have my week off for the bleed. However, I have started a little bleed. I was wondering if this is okay? and I should continue to take my pill for the next 3 days even if i am bleeding a little?

I know all these posts are pretty old, but I just wanted to share my experience in case it helps anyone. I have been on the pill for almost a year now, but I still continue to spot between "placebo" weeks even if I take my pills perfectly on time. Concerned that my pill wasn't protecting me, I finally went to my doctor and she told me that my spotting is likely because I am on a very low dose pill and that my body probably needs more estrogen to prevent surprise spotting. HOWEVER, she said that as long as I was using the pill properly and taking it reliably, then I should still be protected even though I spot. And so I chose to continue using the low dose pill to minimize the risk of blood clots.
My main point is that if you are really truly concerned, talk to your doctor! Usually spotting before your period is not a big deal and doesn't mean you aren't protected. But everyone is different, and the person who will know best and who can give you the soundest advice is your doctor, the person who has examined you and actually knows your medical history. So talk to him/her. It is very comforting to get an informed response from a professional.
