Being on the pill can cause spotting between periods, called breakthrough bleeding.
Yes it can.
If you are on birth control then that is normal because it is a side effect. Bleeding between periods can be pregnancy BUT its depends on the person. There are many other reasons why you can be spotting.
Some women may experience light spotting and dull cramps during ovulation, 14-16 days before your next period. This is perfectly normal. If you are on birth control then spotting between periods is also quite common. If the bleeding changes from light spotting to heavy bleeding mid cycle you need to see an OB/GYN.
It is related to hormonal fluctuations- progesterone and estrogen changes. It could be many different causes however. It could possibly be early stages of menopause, but it could also be related to pregnancy, new birth control, medications, increase in stress/sleep disturbance, and more. It would be best to ask your doctor if you are experiencing sudden spotting between periods to look into the cause. Also, just to explore all possibilities if you are sexually active, take a pregnancy test to rule that out first (or the doctor's office will likely check for you when you go in).
...is normal.
Most antibiotics don't affect the birth control pill. Spotting, whether brown, black, or red, is common after taking the birth control pill continuously without a break.
Yes. Spotting can happen between periods for several reasons. Birth control pills, ovulation,vaginal dryness or infection and stress can all be contributing factors toward spotting between periods.
Spotting while skipping periods with birth control is a common complaint. It is not a sign that the method is less effective.
Yes you should continue your pack of pills even though you are spotting. You should never discontinue taking your birth control unless advised by your physician. If you stop taking your birth control you will lower the effectiveness of the birth control drastically and you will increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Spotting is a side effect caused by birth control. Spotting typically occurs when you are either starting birth control for the first time( spotting may last up to 3 months), spotting can occur if you do not take your birth control everyday at the same time, and it can occur if you use a certain medication, such as antibiotics.
Since birth control has hormones in them and if you quit it can take a few months for your periods to settle down. Spotting is very common. However, it's always a good idea to see your doctor and have him/her explain everything to you.
Hormonal birth control changes your menstrual bleeding. It's not unusual to have brown spotting instead of a regular period when you're on birth control.
