im 15 years old. i am on a birthcontrol pill and i do not have sex. i have been fingered in the past though. i rarely miss taking a pill, and never miss it by more then one day. i have recently had very severe cramps but shortly after i got a cold. im not sure if the cramps are related to the cold or to my menstural cycle. last month i lightly spotted for just 3 days before my period and then i had my normal period of about 4 days. i started spotting a very dark brown, almost muddy substance, about 8-10 days ago and i still am. i seem to be starting my period, but it is very light, and im not sure if it is actualy my period or not. the spotting and slight bleeding are both still occuring at the same time for two days now. im not pregnant, btu im not sure what is gogin on. if you knwo what this is, please help.
Spotting is common when on birth control pills, especially during the first three cycles you do so. They can sometimes make cramps less intense, but this isn't the case for all girls. Your vagina is always cleaning itself out. Blood, when it's old, is brown, so that could be what's happening--you're just keeping things clean down there.
I'm sure your cold isn't related at all.
I would, just in case, check with your health care physician or call Planned Parenthood to ask. It could be a more serious problem. Maybe you would even be better switching to a different brand of birth control pills. It's better to get this checked out now, so if there is a problem it can be addressed.

I am 21 years old. and i have been on the same birth control for almost 2 years now. my ex and i broke up 2 month ago but before we did we had sex. we used protection but the condom broke right at the beginning for sex so we stopped. This hasn't been the 1st time a condom has broken on me during sex but I always got my period when I was suppose to. I got very sick with a cold and lost my voice so my mom gave me some antibiotics to take. I stopped taking the antibiotics right when I got back to school and then when my period came it was brown and red and not normal at all. I thought it was the effect of the antibiotics but it happen again this month too. The weird thing is I have no clue what is going on and I am not having or haven't had any pregnancy symptoms. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHATS GOING ON????
