Is It Possible To Be Pregnant While Having Light Bleeding?
I have been on birth control for 6 months now. This month I was late on taking a few pills. I was suppose to start my period on sunday. I spotted for couple of hours and that was it. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and It was negative. Could I be pregnant?

Hello,
The missing or delay in taking pills, can cause a hormonal imbalance. That may have caused the spotting and delay. However, pregnancy also is a possibility of you have missed more than one pill or delayed by 3-4 hrs. I suggest you repeat the pregnancy test after a week. If its negative then you can rule out pregnancy.
