Spotting, Pill Taking Time
| Tue, 03-16-2004 - 1:57pm |
Last week (my last active week) I took my pills on 4 days, maybe 3 hours at most (each day) off my normal time. On the last two days of my active pills I began spotting. This only happened when I first started taking my pills. I've been on them for about 6 months and I'm wondering is this spotting because I am on my regular time again, taking my pills at the normal time again - or this is a early period start since I should start in a few days, or could the spotting be that I'm pregnant? I was at the doctors and I wasn't pregnant when I went, so if I am pregnant it would have to have occurred last week when I was taking my pills off the wrong time. So is it possible I'm spotting already since I got pregnant last week?

Likely, by being a little irregular in your pill taking last week, your hormones are a little messed up. Being 3 hours late is not likely enough to compromise your pregnancy protection, but it is not a good idea & if you are highly sensitive to hormone levels it could be enough to make you spot.
