Have Cramping And Spotting. Taking Birth Control. Sexually Active. Pregnancy?
Hi there, So, I am currently on a low dose birth control and have been on the same birth control for years now. Today, I was experiencing slight cramping and spotting which seemed abnormal due to the fact that I still have 2 weeks left in my pack to get through; I shouldn t be having period symptoms like this for another 14 days. I am sexually active with my boyfriend but I have never experienced spotting like this since being on the birth control and am concerned as to the cause. Could it be pregnancy?
Hi,
The spotting you have now could be due to a breakthrough. Since you are in the mid-cycle, no further comments can be made. You may have to wait until your next period and get a pregnancy test if you miss it. Changes in body weight can make the body need more amount of hormones when imbalance can be expressed in the form of such spotting. Please make sure that you maintain a healthy body weight. See your consultant for further guidance. Good luck.
