What Causes Spotting And Mild Cramping Between Periods?

I ended my period last week, and a few days a go I started bleeding and it was a lot for like an hour or so and ever since I have been spotting with mild cramping. I am on birth control. Just want to know why it is happening... Could this mean I am pregnant?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
hi dear,
This depends on which contraception you are using and whether you have missed any period.
Hormonal contraceptives can commonly cause such side effects.
Regarding pregnancy,this is unlikely if you have not missed any period. If you have missed the period , just have an UPT done.

Kinldy discuss with your gynaecologist in detail.
Take care,
Thank you.
