I'm no doctor, but I will say that it seems to have happened to me. I've been off BC for not quite 3 weeks yet, and I've had occasional spotting throughout the last 2 weeks with very mild cramping on/off every once in a while as well. (7/17/09) Seems odd, which is why I'm also trying to research this topic. From what I've been reading so far, this seems a pretty normal part of the process as the body tries to "reset" its cycles and adjust to its own hormones. Good luck!
Being on the pill can cause spotting between periods, called breakthrough bleeding.
Coming off birth control can and does cause spotting for a few days. This is the medication withdrawing from your system.
Yes it can.
Yes. Cramps and spotting are a very common side effect while using birth control, especially in the first 1 to 3 months.
That depends on the pill, if it made your period stop, then I guess so.
Yes, antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of the birth control causing breakthrough bleeding
no t can not
You are just spotting. Missing one pill won't cause a period.
Spotting on birth control can happen due to missed pills or due to other factors. If you have taken the pill as directed, spotting doesn't mean that you are not protected against pregnancy. If the spotting continues or recurs, see your health care provider to find out the cause. Infection or some other problem with your cervix could be the cause. If not, a change in brand may solve the problem.
Hi, The following can cause too many periods while on birth control. * The doseage of birth control not being high enough for you. * Wrong type of birth control for you. * Missed birth control pill(s). * Pregnancy. * Urinary tract infection. Please note this is advice only and should not be used in place of a medical experts.
Spotting does not cause pregnancy. I assume you mean "does spotting indicate anything other than pregnancy?" The answer to this is, of course, yes. Spotting could indicate spotting. It's probably you period being finicky, or something along those lines.
Although there is very little evidence to prove this some doctors believe that hormonal birth control can cause birth defects.
