Spotting.. Am I Pregnant?
Posted: 01-05-05 19:53pm

I have been on the pill for about a year now. My boyfriend and I usually have protected sex just to give that chance of being pregnant never happen. Though, last month, we didn't use that condom.

I tend to take the pill around the same time of the day, sometimes a couple hours later or earlier. After the incident, my period came late. Well, I can't even say it's a period. I was spotting brown throughout the whole time I should've bled. Since then, I took a test about a week later, it came back negative. So we were relieved.

But..

I missed a day on my pill after that, and we had unprotected sex again a few days after the missed pill. Though he pulled out, i'm still worried. My "period" started right on time this time.. But.. Still no blood!

Should I be worried? What could be wrong?

Please help!

I posted a response to this in the teen forum...

It very well could be your body flushing out the excess tissue etc... In other words, cleansing itself naturally...

Or it could be implantation bleeding which can occur up to about two weeks after conception.

Take a test when your next period is due to be sure.

Even being on the pill for a year, spotting can occur. The pill is about 98-99% effective ONLY if you take it at the same time each day. Pulling out is also not an effective method of birth control. Pre-ejaculation can still get you pregnant just as much as if he orgasmed inside of you. Be careful from now on, and good luck.
