Is it normal to have withdrawal spotting from taking ONE pill late? (The next day)

Question

I normally take my pill everyday at 11pm but I didn’t take it until noon today and then now I have light cramping and brown spotting. I’m in the middle of my cycle so it doesn’t make sense.

Answer

You are very unlikely to get pregnant from missing one pill. Its typically 2+ that puts you at risk as the hormones don't leave your system that quickly.

Answer

Yes, it’s normal to have breakthrough bleeding or spotting from being late with ur pills, even just one. It simply depends on how ur body reacts to the shift in the hormones.

Answer

Yep missing makes it get out of your system quickly so you can start bleeding. You did good by taking it as soon as you remembered

Answer

No. I normally miss 2 pills in a row and don’t start spotting until it’s 3/4 days missed pills... when the usual withdrawal day bleeding starts. Missing one won’t start you spotting
