What Causes Vaginal Spotting After Stopping Birth Control Pills?
I was on bc pills but i stopped taking them on Nov. 9th because it caused me to feel always nauseous and had gag reflexes. I was just about to start on the inactive pills. But the after stopping the bc pill i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. On the 11th i was spotting(browish to light pink) and on the 13th i was having small blood clots and the clots just lasted one day and the next day i was bleeding. No cramps during this period. My menstrual cycle is normal on the 15th. I ve continue to feel nauseous, dizziness at times, loss of appetite, had some mood swings and mild cramping at times. Is this normal when stop taking the bc pill? Could I be pregnant?

Hi ,
Stoppage of birth control pills can lead to abnormal bleeding,spotting, headaches, mood swings dur to imbalance in hormonal levels.
It may take six months to get adjusted to it.
if you have missed your periods kindly take a urine regnancy test after 10 days of missed periods for relatively accurate pregnancy confirmation.
Thanks
