Is it break through bleeding or pg?

I am on the pill and have been for a couple years, well 2 and half about. My boyfriend and I do not use a condom when we have sex and we havent gotten pg yet. I noticed that there was a few drops of blood in the toliet but I am not supposed to start my period for about another week and this has never happened. In other words if I am getting my period now then the pills are out of whack because the white pills are when you can not conceive and the blue/green are to just keep you on track which is what I am on now. When I start my period I usually get sick and have cramps which I dont haven at all and its been 6 days now and I am still spotting. The blood appears when I wipe or pee and thats it. I dont need a tampon or anything but a panty liner so I wont get anything on the panties here and there. What could this be?

You need to call your dr. to see if it's breakthru bleeding. I doubt it's pg though. You will probably need to get your BCPs changed.

Hope this helps.

thank you for responding, the thing that i dont understand is my period only lasts for 5 days and ive had my period for 9 years and its been that way for 9 years even when i started on the pill. tomorrow is the day that i am suppose to get my period and sunday is when i always finish i mean i can count on it. but ive had this bleeding for almost a week and there is no way i can have my period for 2 weeks. i just know my body. for one i get sick and i get cramps. i havent gotten sick, i dont feel blotted, and i dont have cramps at all which is very unusal. i still dont need to wear anything!!!!!! help give me a number to call or something. i tried the health departments here and no one is in and i need to know!!!!!!!!!

Well if your really concerned then I would just go ahead and test with an early test and see what happens. If its negative, then I would go ahead and assume your not pg. being that your on the pill. Then wait and see what happens next month. Its normal to have an off cycle every once in awhile.

i understand that you can have an off cycle but its only when i wipe that i find blood. i should be bleeding hard right now. ive been feeling like i have been eating more but that could be from anything. i dont want my boyfriend or his parents to know and i just feel irratable about everything. ihave to pee all the time but it seems like that is it and i dont know what to do. i dont want to take a test and be disappointed and ive had family members tell me that i could of miscarried and there are so many mixed emtions going on inside of me that i just want someone to talk to and kinda help me out. if any one out there has spotted a week before their period tell me please.......

ok i wrote on here on the 13 or 14th about spotting a week before my period was due. tuesday my period was due and the spotting still continued and didnt really change. now two days later the spotting has stopped and i ususally go until sunday with my period. my tummy is really sensitive to touch that is if you put some pressure on it (cant bare to have my bf put any of his weight on it) hurts to breath in deeply feels like my ribcage is pushing against something in the lower part. eat more then normal, pee alot, and tired all the time. when i stand up and start to walk i get light headed and feel like im going to get sick but i dont/cant. does this sound like i could be pg?
