Hi, I wondering if anyone can help,
I have been on Apri28 (birth control) for almost 2 years now with regular periods and no breakthrough bleeding. However, this week I started taking Garcinia Cambogia and I was very concerned when I started to see that I was bleeding, I am sexually active so took a pregnancy test, and it was negative. Does anyone know if it is the Garcinia Cambogia that is causing my breakthrough bleeding?

There is no evidence to indicate Garcinia Cambogia causes vaginal bleeding. On the other hand, there is no evidence to indicate it doesn't cause vaginal bleeding either! There is also little scientific evidence that it works as a weight loss agent.
I would stop taking it and see if the bleeding stops. Wait a week and start taking it again and see if the bleeding starts up. Do the start/stop experiment out of phase with your menstrual cycle so it doesn't coincide with your normal cycle.

I am also having bleeding and was unsure what was contributing to this then I begin to think and I started this pill recently and begin having these problems. So disappointed. And I have been having the worst headaches. I may stop this and see what happens.

Me too!!! I popped on the computer this morning trying to figure out why I have been having some breakthrough bleeding & brownish discharge when I had my period 12 days ago. I have also had sensations of menstrual cramping. This is completely abnormal for me! I started taking Garcinia Cambogia about 1 month ago. I have tracked my periods every month for years & my last period came 2-4 days earlier than what's normal for me. Brownish discharge could be an indicator of something much more serious. However, I just had my yearly pap about 1 week before I started taking the Garcinia Cambogia & all tests came back normal. I stopped taking the pill a few days ago & the brownish discharge stopped. Then I started it back up & the discharge is coming back. I'm going to stop taking it for a longer period of time & see what happens. After reading all your posts though, I know I am not the only one with side effects. By the way, I only need to lose 5lbs and didn't see any changes over 1 month towards a leaner body or any fat loss. Old fashioned eating right & exercise helped me drop 40 stubborn lbs after the birth of my 3rd child. I think I'm just going to increase my weight lifting routine to burn off the last 5lbs of fat and forget a pill that may be messing with my cycle.

Well, I am taking garcinia cambogia and I haven't experience any bleeding just helping me out with my sluggish metabolism and hopefully I will lose weight. But it does not yet proven that it was cause by those pills or maybe it might be a reaction to it. I hope every thing will be better for you. And I hope it was not cause by Garcinia cambogia pills as I am taking it also. Good luck and please keep us all updated about your experiences with the pills.

I posted my experience above (2 weeks ago). My period wasn't affected until I was on the supplement for approximately 2.5 weeks. I experimented with it by stopping it for a few days & starting it back up again for a few days after I got breakthrough bleeding. The breakthrough bleeding stopped & started as I sadly predicted it would. Since I've been off it for a couple weeks I got a real period, back on schedule as it was before. There's definitely a minority of us who are experiencing this unpleasant side effect.
