What Causes Pink Vaginal Spotting And Abdominal Cramps?

I had my period 8/30. I get it every 28 days. I just started taking the pill 9/5. I took it for only 4 days. My fiance and I actually decided at that point we wanted to start trying to conceive. We ve had lots of sex 9/4-9/5 and 9/9-9/10. Today, 9/10, I started getting really bad cramps and later pink spotting..both for the past 6hrs. I ve never had spotting in between periods nor after coming off the pill in the past. My periods have always been pretty regular. What could be happening?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms like cramps and spotting are due to discontinuation of birth control pills. It is called withdrawal bleeding. Usually these pills should not be stopped in such shorter duration.

As for now no need to worry. Just take tablet Meftal Spas, which will relieve spasm. Bedding will stop usually in 3-4 days. Then you can try to conceive (have sex) after 12-14 days as it is fertile period of menstrual cycle.

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

Regards

Dr. Hiren
