Does anyone know when you are on birth control pills (ovum-nexum) how long spotting occurs? Does it occur less than 24 hours? Also, if you take two pills, will you stop bleeding?

never take two pills, it can take up to a week to a month to stop spotting. takes a while for the hormones to kick in to there full potential. be carefull for the first month as you may still fall pregnant

It sounds like one of two things to me... Your period might actually implantaion bleeding (it happens about five days or so after conception. it's when the egg burrows into the uturin wall) Or you could have Anemia... Take a pregnancy test, in the mean time eat a little more food than you normally do. Then go see a doctor either way!

I did the same thing.  I asked my gyn.  He said if I don't take it (the pill) at the same time everyday, it can cause it.  I did take it a few hours late on a couple of occasions.  \n\nIf it continues, he said he could do an ultrasound up inside the uterus to look to see what would be causing it.  They fill it up first, then do the ultrasound.  I missed a few days for some reason and had to wait until I started to take the next set and since that happened, I have had no more spotting.  \n\nYou should call your gyn just for a check up anyway.  You should have a yearly pap smear.  Best wishes to you.

Missed period after stopping birth control is kinda normal I had the same problem I waited and after 4 months it started little at a time your body is adjusting to the new change. your ob dr will advice you also..... I work for kaiser and recently worked in obgyn I used to panic and ask them weired questions and they also told me that the more I will stress the more missed periods I will see.... its true.... hoping this has helped you a little.....\nsosoqueen

Starting the pill will affect the amount you bleed. It may stop entirely or you may spot constantly (I've seen both). It is unlikely you had a miscarriage. If you had you would have been bleeding profusely (enough hat you would have known something was wrong and done to the hospital).

it always takes me 4 days of inactive pills before I start my period. it will usually take between 2 and 5 days, so don't worry! you will probably still be bleeding when you start your active pills again the next week too, but that is normal.

After having children the mucus discharge does thicken. The irregular bloody spotting with it probably means your system is a bit out of whack after having children and being off Depo. Talk to your OB/GYN and see if getting back on some kind of birth control will help regulate your periods again. If they continue to get worse though, they might consider a D&C or ablation. Stop using Depro though...it's now being related to bone disorders. Ask your dr. about the NuvaRing....it's easy to use and works very well. Regulated my periods immediately!

I was on Loestrin 24 for 1 month and I had to switch cause of too much bleeding. Now I am on ortho Tri cyclen and I haven't had no problems with them. And the good thing about it with orth tri cylen you'll always know when your period is gonna come on. So good luck with them because I love them.

it depends on you're age too, sometimes if you're still younger u periods will be irreguarly which means they don't last as long as normal ones.  And if you are on birth control pills that is normal also , till you're body gets use to the pills u can have spotting and then it goes away.  I wouldn't worry to much , I would let it go now and wait till next month and see how it is, then if it continues that way I would go get checked they might put u on birth control if you're not already on them.  Hope this helps

Okay, here's the scoop. (Unless you are over 35, at which point go put your feet in the stirrups)\n\nAlmost anything can have an affect on the pill dosage. Antibiotics, too much alcohol, stress, dieting, etc... It sounds to me as if your body may have acclimated to the level of hormones and is on the verge of being confused as to if it's enough or not enough.. The Gyn will likely tell you to go through the cycle, and if you continue spotting give you 2-3 months of the next higher dose, ( after doing a prenancy test) to see if that will regulate the system.\n\nDon't panic. Give your gyn a call, see if he/she can call you back ( you just want to ask a question after all ) see what he/she says. Have your pharmacy phone number with you, so she can call in a different type of pill right away, if she decides to.

Just relax, being that you had birth control in your system it affects the start time of your period.  Don't worry just give it a little bit, and you can always contact your doctor about the matter.  Also, being that you were spotting, it shows that your body is at least trying to prepare itself to officially start.

The awesome thing about the pill, to my mind, is the regularity it gives to cycles (plus the no-pregnancy thing).  But every now and then, the utter regularity will collapse and your period will start early or late, or you'll spot, or something else will go amuck.  I suspect this is your body trying to reassert itself against the hormones you are putting in it.\n\nIf you're sick, or you have been sick, that can change the absorption of the pill and cause your symptoms... I have particularly seen this with women with yeast infections taking Diflucan or the equivalent. It doesn't mean anything serious is wrong with you... it could just be one of those irritating things.\n\nIf you've been having sex, and you don't get your period in a few days, take a pregnancy test.  If, next month, this happens again, consult your doctor.

I got massive headaches when I was on the pill. When I started taking depo within a few months my periods stopped altogether. I might have two or three very light days a year. I've been on it for three years and haven't had any issues. I'm sorry to hear that other people have had problems, but for me it has worked really well.

I am not sure but I have a friend in the same boat so I am posting a response so I can keep tabs on other answers..It could be birth control related, are you on the shot or were taken off the shot w/in the past year? Break through bleeding like that can happen when going off birth control...well I hope we both find an answer, its not looking too hopeful is 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...  = )
