Is Spotting Instead Of A Period A Sign Of Pregnancy?
i have been on loestrin 24 for 6 months. I start my new pack tomorrow (Sunday). Today is Sat and I didnt have a period, but I had brown spotting today. Nothing has come out on my pad all day, but when i wipe myself, there is very light brown/red blood. Could i be pregnant?

Hi welcome to health care magic
You are on hormonal pill for contraception....
It is very effective in preventing ovulation and so prevent pregnancy....
Usually after completion bleeding should occur but here only spoting is present
Continue taking pill as per your schedule
If your period delayed for week than urine Hcg test can be done to rule out pregnancy....
Take care
Gynecologist can be consulted for examination and further work up
