i've been on the pill for 5 years now and
i ALWAYS have regular periods. i've been
kind of slipping with my pill lately and i
went on a 2 day vacation recently and
forgot my pills at home.. so, i went 2
days without taking the pill. the first
pill i missed, i noticed some bleeding
after sex. the next day, nothing. i came
home and took my pill immediately and the
next day out of nowhere i got a period
flow. it's more like heavy breakthrough
bleeding.. it's brown and i'm getting a
little bit of cramping and i'm very
nauseous. could i be pregnant?? or is it
most likely breakthrough bleeding??
the only reason i think it might not be
breakthrough bleeding is because usually
when i'm done with my pack and i'm on my
'' sugar pills '' ( which i never take ),
my period never comes on after two missed
pills. it usually takes about 4 days of
not taking the pill before my period will
come on.
According to your description (bleeding
after 2 days not taking birth control
pills) you are probably having
breakthrough bleeding.
Vaginal bleeding (of any reason) can't be
sign of pregnancy. Pregnancy can exist
independently and in such cases vaginal
bleeding could be a sign of complicated
pregnancy.
You can continue taking the pills as
schedule.
