Greetings! I have a question . . . A week before my period was due I started to have light bleeding when I wiped. This is still happening, it has been going on for a week and a half. I called my doctor and she said that it wasn't uncommon. Then she asked if I had taken a pg test. I said no I am on the pill. She responded that I should take a test. I didn't b/c I knew my period would come. I am like clock work, every Tuesday at 12 . . . AF shows herself. Needless to say AF has not shown herself yet. I am, however, still having the light bleeding when I wipe. I took a HPT yesterday, not with first morning urine and it came back negative. I am now 4 days late. I really was not planning on getting pg quiet yet, however I would be okay- ds is 18 months old. I would just like to know if I am pg or something else is wrong. I have an appt with my dr Tuesday. I have been having mild cramps, nausea every once in awhile, and I am rather tired. BTW I had bleeding like this when I was PG with my son. Maybe my body is different :) I was on antibiotics a month ago. WDYT?
Thanks!
Leslie :)


Did you have sex while on the antibiotics? If so, did you use back up birth control, like a condom?
As you know, the antibiotics will have an effect on the bcp.
The nausea, the fatigue, the cramping... all make me think of pgcy as well. I'm glad that you're seeing the doctor on Tuesday, a blood test should be done, it will be more accurate than a urine test. The fact that you didn't do first morning urine could have had something to do with the - test... or it could have been too early to test.
Good luck to you!

Hi Leslie, welcome!

Yes I did have sex and no I did not use back up method. We have been thinking of having another child, so I didn't really care if I got pg. I just was not ready to actively try :) Anyhow, thanks for your response and we will see :) I just don't know if I should start a new set of pills on Monday. I guess I better call the dr and see. Thanks again~

I hope that you get the answer you want! :) Good luck to you.
I would not start a new pill pack until you first find out if you are pg or not. I know that lots of women do find out that they are pg and they have been taking the pill and it doesn't harm the baby as long as you quit taking them as soon as you find out. But I wouldn't take that risk.
I want to see an update from you.

Not prego! My doctor called it break through bleeding. He said that it sometimes happens with the pill, especially when taking antibiotics. He said that if it continued to happen, we would try something different. Thanks for your advice and encouragement!
