Im 16 and im sexually active. I have been on the pill for almost a year, because my periods were very irregular. If sexually active, I always backup the birth control with a condom. I am due to get my period on the 17th. However on the 8th I noticed that I had some blood (not in my panties, but only when I wiped...Sorry I was trying to put it nicely) my doctor told me that it was breakthrough bleeding, since I had taken two of my pills late. The bleeding only lasted a day and was very light. It was a light red but then turned brown and stopped right after. I dont know why...But I am very concerned that somehow I am pregnant,since the bleeding really scared me. Could I be pregnant or is it just breakthrough bleeding or am I just over reacting???? Help please

I really don't think you have anything to worry about.....Don't stress because worrying about it can make your period late!

If you have been on the pill for over a year and you havent stopped it then you cant be pregnant. The pill tricks your body into thinking you are pregnant so that you dont ovulate, if you dont ovulate than you cant get pregnant. The reason that you have breakthrough bleeding is because, when you stop the pill or miss a dose your hormone levels drop way low and it triggers your body to have a period but when you remember that you have forgoten to take the pill and then take it, it boosts your hormone levels again and you dont have a regular period. I wouldnt worry hun.
