Brief Answer:
You are protected, no risk of pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

You stated the birth control pills the next day of your period so the protection starts right away.
If you started using loca lo loestrine fe right after the start of period you don't need to use a back up method

I think you should not worry about pregnancy.


Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
My period started XXXXXXX 15th and ended XXXXXXX 19th.
doctor
Answered by Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (15 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Possibly not implantation bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, yet I think the spotting can't be implantation bleeding since you started the birth control right after the period so the pregnancy chances are very low and protection is full.
I think you are experiencing hormone imbalance which may be causing the spotting.
