Do Birth Control Pills Cause Pink Spotting?

I m wondering if I am pregnant. My periods are regular. For the past two months, I have been having rusty colored discharge and light pink spotting. Two months ago when I was supposed to have my period, the discharge stopped and the first two days I was supposed to have my period, nothing happened at all. Then the next 5 days the discharge happened again. And it also happened last month. I was on birth control and I was on it for 5 months straight and that was the only weird thing that happened. I AM sexually active and do not use protection. I am also notice weight gain in my stomach. It honestly looks like I m at least 4 months pregnant. I stopped taking my birth control hoping it would stop the discharge and stuff, now I m getting cramps. And not period cramps. Cramps in my lower abdomen and right underneath my rib cage. I have been getting really bad headaches the past month and the same cramps for a month and a half.

Hello,

Birth control pills can cause slight menstrual irregularities and pink spots especially on the initial days of usage. Generally, it will settle by itself and if symptoms persist you can consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
