Why????

Question

I've been on birth control for a very long time. I haven't missed any pills I care about it more than anything. This month I've been spotting for about 5 days now. Usually pink or fresh looking blood. Very very little amounts but seems kinda continuous. It looks like this. Could this be a pregnancy thing? I really don't want to be, I have about 6 days until the placebo pills (5 when I take it tonight) but this has been going on about 5 days.

Answer

This just happened to me yesterday and I’m freaking out. I literally stop what ever I am doing at 8pm every night and sprint to take my pill. I’m not on anything that interacts and never vomit or have diarrhea. This is my 8th pack on my pill so I’m confused. Is this normal since I’ve been on it so long? I’ve also only had sex once this month on my first pill of the pack so I’m assuming I should be fine. Vaginas are scary.

Answer

This happened to me recently too. I got freaked out and skipped immediately to the placebo pills to get my period and ease my mind about pregnancy. If you are on an extended pill like i am where you only get your pill every three months this can be common. It may also be if you had rough sex recently or have had changes in your diet etc.
