I am currently on 'the pill' and am sexually active. I have been spotting brown blood and sometimes it is pink for about a week and a half now. It isn't much, I usually only see it when I wipe. However, I have seen some on my underware for about 3 days. I should have my period in a week. Is spotting before your period when you're on the pill normal, or is there a chance I could be pregnant? I take my pill the same time everyday. I am never late or early. How soon would a pregnancy test give an accurate answer? I really need help... a pregnancy is not something I want right now.
