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.
