Q: Spotting after forgotten bc pills
asked by: issie on April 12th, 2009

I just have a question: After I forgot a few bc pills the first week, I've had some spotting/ light bleeding. Does this bleeding mean I'm not pregnant, or is it still possible to be pregnant? I've tried to have a look around the net, but haven't found much about this, so thank you if any of you know:)

if you been doing anything then yes you could be pregnant!!! spotting means that you ovulating or that the egg is attaching to the uterus and if you don't start your period you may need to take a home pregnancies test to she if you are!!!! good luck

Thank's for your reply:) I did sleep with my husband a few times around the same time I forgot pills, but since the bleeding is light and has lasted for a few days, I thought it was an hormonal inbalance or something, and that I couldn't be pregnant.. I'll take a test if my period doesn't come when it's supposed to- only a few days away now!

The bleeding was probably withdrawl bleeding, but that doesn't mean you couldn't be pregnancy.

The first week of active pills after your inactive week is very important. Since you missed pills, you were unprotected all up until a week of taking your pills correctly with no mistakes.
