Random Spotting - I took the pill one hour late, stressed .. Posted: 09-26-07 10:49am
I've been on birth control pills for
years, so it's not due to adjusting...does
anyone else find that they still spot on
occasion? I never spot actual fresh
blood...I'll just get some brown in my
discharge sometimes. This week, there was
one day where I took my pill an hour after
the normal time...could that be why?
(Also, that won't affect the pill's
effectiveness, correct?) I've been
getting the light discharge for the past
couple days. Also, I've been extremely
stressed lately- does that cause spotting?
Thanks for any responses!

Don't know what to tell you! I had the
same thing on the ring I had a period
early and then had the same brownish blood
light for about a week then had like a
2day period agian. By then I was on my 4th
week so I had to take it out. Now it has
all stopped. I don't know but would like
to hear what others have to say!
i have been on the pill for a year and
never took it at the same time and never
got pregnant until i quit taking them.

Unless you're on the mini-pill, an hour
late won't matter, and won't cause you to
spot either.
Most birth control has the effect on me of
making my period go away all together, so
I don't have this problem.
However, I've heard it can happen, and I
know that off of birth control, we can get
random spotting for many reasons. Stress,
food, exercize, diet, etc..... it's
probably just an anomaly.
