Hello everyone,

I have had a history of spotting and breakthrough bleeding on many types of BCPs in the past. In the last 6 months or so I was switched to Minovral and I have found I rarely get spotting and my periods are actually shorter.

I am concerned because I am experiencing this now. Here's the story. On the day I started my pill pack for this month my partner and I had intercourse unprotected (we usually never do this, however it was one of those spontaneous moments). I'm not sure why but he was unable to ejaculate. Anyways I began my pill pack that night and have not missed a pill since. One week later I found a good amount of bright pink and red blood when I went to the washroom after intercourse. This did not return but throughout the week I would occasionally have a very light brown tint when I would wipe (almost unnoticeable). This has become heavier and heavier. It's still light, but I have noticed some stringiness to it, and also I have been finding it on my panties the last few days. It is brown. I am due for my period some time next week but I am still fretting and worrying about what this could be. Anyone with similar experiences? Anyone can shed some light on this situation?

Thanks,

A
