Sudden spotting, cause? Help!?!
Question: Sudden spotting, cause? Help!?
My LMP was 2/14 and ended 2/17. I was off BC (pill) from a few days before it started until a few days ago (I just started taking my pill again yesterday). I took 5 at once (to make up for the pills I didn't take). I have never spotted with this pill before, but today I am having spotting (very light and streaky). Would this be caused by the taking of 5 BC pills at once or might I be pregnant?
Answers:
First of all, why would you take five birth control pills at once? It states clearly in the packaging that you're not supposed to take more than three without seeing your doctor. Obviously you would be spotting, since you've not only been skipping pills, but then took an entire handful of them. If you think you could be pregnant, you need to go get a pregnancy test.
