why am i spotting?
Hi! This is my first post here and I hope some people reach out in the replies.
I am 21 years old and have a relationship with an active sex life. I take ADHD meds and antidepressants (I used to take Paxil but I am now transitioning to Prozac), and for the past two months I have noticed light spotting in the middle of my cycle. I didn't think much of it first because I thought it might just be ovulation spotting but it happened again this time and I'm freaking out.
Me and my boyfriend are careful about protection during sex, I don't take birth control pills but we use condoms and I am very particular about making sure there is no precum or something that comes into contact with the condoms. But I am incredibly scared of pregnancy or having some sort of problem with my reproductive system. Last I checked all was well, maybe it's the medication I take but I cannot be certain. My ovulation was about 4-5 days before, my cervix is firm right now but I spotted twice in the last two days.
Any guesses or educated opinions? I booked an appointment with a gynecologist but I can't shake the feeling I might be pregnant and it's freaking me out.
Thank you in advance, have a wonderful day!
