Pg on BC?

(I apologize in advance if anything is TMI)

I've been on the same birth control for over 2 years. The past couple of months I felt like the birth control wasn't working, my periods were heavier, and I was breaking out. I mentioned it to my GYN, she said since my weight hadn't changed everything was fine.

After the GYN I had extreme pain in, what felt like, one of my ovaries. I start my period every Wednesday (today) like clockwork. However, yesterday I got what seems very common on this board, very very light pink and brown. Right now I don't have a tampon in and for the past 2 years in this case if I wipe it would be bright red. Now it's nothing.

Could that have been implantation bleeding? I read that it is supposed to happen before you are supposed to start period but what about if you're taking birth control?

I have to admit I wasn't taking it at the exact time every day and probably took 2 once or twice but it's always worked for me, until now it seems.

Sorry if this sounds a little repetitious from other posts but this is specifically dealing with being on birth control. I also feel as if my upper abdomen is tighter and, I'm not sure of another word, harder than usual, is that a symptom?

Thanks for any help.

Hugs. I actually had to get off the pill due to the side effects I was having from it. Every month I would have ovulation type cramping mid cycle, sore BB's, breakouts, you name it. My flow would very from prune juice some months to heavy flows and occasionally skipped altogether. And AF would often start just as you've described. In all honesty, I'd wait a day or two and if she's still a no show, it wouldn't hurt to test to rule it out. Good luck.

Just an update.

I fell asleep 3 hours earlier than usual last night and woke up w/ a heavy AF so all is normal. Thanks for the replies. I'll be back when I'm trying in a few years, just trying to finish my last year of college first:)

Thanks again.
