Does spotting on birth control after 2 years of being on it with no spotting before that and no missed pills mean that they are not as effective as they should be or is it nothing to worry about?
If you haven't missed pills, breakthrough bleeding is not a sign of decreased effectiveness. If it continues, or is troublesome, contact your healthcare provider for advice specific to your situation.
What if you missed a pill and started your period early are you pregnant?
Sometimes when you miss pills or do not take them everyday at the same time, you may experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is a side effect that is normal while on birth control. Spotting or breakthrough bleeding may start right before you start your menstrual cycle. If you haven't been on birth control for at least 2 months, I recommend taking a pregnancy test, especially if you have been missing pills or do not take them everyday at the same time.
Bleeding three weeks birth control?
Hi This sounds like break-through bleeding and should not be happening. If you have missed any pills then this can cause break-through bleeding. If you haven't missed any pills see your Doctor and do not have unprotected sex.
Is bleeding after birth control harmful?
Hello. No bleeding after using birth control isn't harmful hun. If you have stopped birth control and are bleeding, this is perfectly normal and is happening because your experiencing break through bleeding from the withdrawal of the pill. If you are bleeding while on birth control and have missed some pills - then this is why your bleeding. Dont miss any pills and you wont bleed. If you are bleeding while on birth control and are taking the pills correctly and haven't missed any, then this is most likely due to the doseage of the pill not being high enough. See your doctor for a change of pill or increase in doseage. Take care!
You missed your birth control and got caught up but then a week later you stopped the pill is that ok?
Not necessarily. By stopping your birth control you put yourself at a high risk of pregnancy if you have intercourse, your period will not be on schedule and you may experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding. Since you already stopped, wait until the Sunday after your period(whether you are bleeding or not) to start a new pack and wait at least 7 days to have unprotected intercourse.
You have been on Ortho Tricyclen for a few years and got breakthrough bleeding this month you missed two pills is that your period how long does it typically last?
If you missed tow pills and had breakthrough bleeding, resuming your pills should stop the bleeding. However, since you missed two pills you are not protected this month, so use a backup method of birth control.

You are usually right on schedule 30 days with no ovulation bleeding but this month you are spotting 13 days into your cycle Could it be implantation bleeding?
Mid-cycle bleeding is not normal and you should see a doctor. I would like to correct the above statement. Mid-cycle bleeding is, in fact, fairly normal. Some women experience spotting during ovulation and it is considered a very positive sign of fertility. This spotting will be bright red and tinged with mucous. Implantation spotting generally occurs a week before up to the week of the missed period and is generally brownish in color. If you are worried about your cycle please consider seeing a midwife or if one is not available a doctor.
Can your obgyn tell if you don't take your birth control pill?
Your OBGYN can't tell whether or not you're taking your birth control pill. Frequent complaints of irregular bleeding and missed periods raise suspicion of missed pills.
Missed 4 birth control pills and now I'm spotting?
This is called withdrawal bleeding, it is your body's reaction to being off the pill. (Hormone levels dropping). If you do not want to get pregnant, you need to use back up, until you go back on the pill and have taken 7 pills in 7 days.
Will you bleed if you miss the pill for 3 days?
You indeed can become pregnant if you missed 3 pills and are bleeding. The reason you would be bleeding or maybe spotting is because you're not taking the pills. If you've missed 3 pills in one pack, you should throw that pack away and start a new pack and definitely use backup protection!
What if you Get your period three weeks early while on birth control?
Unscheduled bleeding on the birth control pill is more likely if you missed pills, if you're in your first three months of pills, or if you're taking medications or herbs that interfere with the pill (e.g. St. John's Wort). If the bleeding happens again, is troublesome to you, or is accompanied by pain, painful urination, or unusual vaginal discharge, contact your health care provider.
