implantation bleeding or breakthrough
Tue, 10-07-2003 - 11:17pm
My period is not due for 3 more days. two days ago I got some light spotting that is kind of brown/pinkish. I switched to a new lower-dose brand of birthcontrol pills this month so Im assuming that maybe its just breakthrough bleeding. I did miss a pill or two aswell. upon reading up on it, there were suggestions of it being implantation bleeding. How do I know if it is? Can implantation bleeding cause light spotting for a few days?
