So it says on the birth control pamphlet that if you are taking the pills and you are spotting or if you've just had intercourse, i should call the clinic and ask. But no one was there. \n\nI did just have intercourse and now i'm spotting...what does that mean?

For any of you on the shot you need to worry about bone loss!  That also goes for other progesterone only birth control such as depoprovera.  TAKE YOUR VITAMIN D and DRINK MILK OR TAKE CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS!!  Also, it would be wise to look at other birth control methods besides the shot after 2 years...i get this straight from my pharmacist sister in law.\n\nWhat you describe is called DUB...or Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding.  It is the nuber one complained of symptom of chemical contraceptives in general.  You do need to contact your physician about it to rule out other modalitiels and seqella but for now, you're just fine :)

It is typically just light spotting- sometimes it continues for as long as you take the pills, sometimes it is just a temporary measure until your body gets used to them.

Hi there!\n\nIt could just be that because you switched methods of birth control that your body is just adjusting accordingly. I would reccomend using a back up form of birth control at all times (such as a condom, spermacide suppositories or a diaphragm) just to be safe in case for some reason your body is having trouble adjusting to the pills. As far as whether you are pregnant or not, sometimes a home pregnancy test isn't always accurate. I would suggest going to your family doctor or gynecologist and getting a blood test done. Blood tests are 100% accurate and the results usually come in within 1-2 days of sending the blood sample in to be tested. I hope this helps! :)

I don't understnad why you would take the morning after pill if you started your period because that obviously means that you're not pregnant!?! Anyways, you probably stopped your period because of all the horomomes and stuff that you put in your body when you took the pill. But, just for future references if you aren't ready for a baby...then don't have sex!

Your body may be adjusting to being off of b.c. pills. Usually that would mean irregular bleeding and longer periods. Hope your are ready for motherhood because that sure is a big possibility with the sign and symptoms you have given.

I was on this pill for 1 year.  I had problems the 1st 3 months with spotting, & almost switched when it stopped. I had horrible mood swings & gained weight(it came off with exercise though) The mood swings were the worst though. Then in March I started bleeding again so I got switchd to Ortho Novum which is awesome (except for a few headaches). The thing is, every woman is different so pills affect everyone differently. You just have to try them until you find the right one.  And you are going to have some symptoms with any kind of pill.  There is a good website called www.askapatient.com that you can enter in any drug & read reviews from people that have taken it.

It's called "breakthrough bleeding" and is perfectly normal (especially when you're on the pill.)  I wouldn't worry unless you are experiencing extremely heavy cramping when this happens.  Do a search for breakthrough bleeding on the web and you should find more info...  = )

In this case, you'd be strarting as if you never used the pill before. Usually the package has it all spelled out. You can start on the period, or you can start at random time BUT you'll HAVE to use a back-up method for that cycle. That means, paying for condoms. Might as well pay the full price for pills and do it right and not worry about it.

I used to breakthrough bleed after being on the pill for 2 years or so.  My gyno said that the hormones weren't strong enough when mid-cycle bleeding occured, and would increase my dose.  This usually resolved the problem. Could be that the 1/35s aren't strong enough after being on the nuvaring. If your period doesn't occur when it should, you may also want to take a pregnancy test. With the transition, that is a possibility also.  Good luck!

its normal to have some spotting in between periods... but if your periods are usually regular and consistent, I agree with the others you should talk to the dr.   Could also mean pregnancy, could be something wrong, or could be nothing.... sorry to be vague, but a woman's body and period issues are kind of like the check engine light in your car... could be some little thing or a big thing, its hard to figure out w/out a professional!

If you are still bleeding(not breakthrough bleeding) and your on the birth control. Call your dr or ob/gyn right away that is not right. \n\nDo you mean yasmin 28 birth control? Its better if you take it the same time of day i've taken it our the next day because I forgot. \n\nNausea, vomiting, headache, stomach cramping/bloating, dizziness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, increased vaginal fluids, or breast tenderness/enlargement may occur. Acne may improve or get worse. Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first few months of use. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. If you miss 2 periods in a row (or 1 period if the pill has not been used properly), contact your doctor for a pregnancy test.

Yes you should see your doctor since this has never happened before. Maybe there is something going on that your doctor needs to know about. When I was on birth control I NEVER had a period. So maybe it's normal, but I don't think so because you said that this was the first time it has happened. So go and see your doctor. Hopefully he can put your mind at ease.

I believe you're supposed to start taking the pill the first day your period starts and you should have been told this by whoever supplied them.  Make sure you use protection until your next period and on the first day, start on a new pack.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

Okay first of all, there is a chance that you can have a normal period during the first stages of pregnancy.  Second of all, the reason you are spotting (in my opinion) is because you had sex the day after your period was over.  Even though you are done, there is still residue built up that needs to clean itself out, and your man just loosened it up. Another thing to consider is that when you don't have sex for a long period of time, then sometimes you tighten up.  Did you have any pain or discomfort during intercourse?  \n\nHonestly, I don't think you are pregnant.

Don't play games with spotting. See your gyn to be sure there are no real problems. Spotting is a symptom and not normal.\n\nWhen you call your gyn and tell them you are spotting they usually get you in right away after you stop...this is because it is important.

I have had sex while on the pill and not gotten pregnant, so odds as slim that you will. However it is possible. So if you are concerned you can get tested at your local clinic.

=that is really strange and you say you are sure that it was not a nose bleed.  If you are on birth control and you skipped a dose your period could have started and when you took it your period stopped.  If you are pregnant you may be spotting or you might have had an itch during the night and scratched it.  You are not alone cause at times unexplainable things happen to me as well.  Happy Thanksgiving.
