Hi everyone, I am a very concerned
boyfriend. I have searched up and
down the internet trying to find answers
and im hoping I can find more information
out here.
Well heres the story. My girlfriend
has been on the pill for 3 months now for
the past 3 days she has experienced
spotting, she is still 2 weeks away from
her period. Recently I believe she
missed a pill and took it the morning
after, im not positive but I think I
remember her taking it in the morning
because she had missed it. We had
unprotected sex (well she was still on the
pill I just wasnt wearing a condom) twice
between her last period and now. One
time which was after she had missed the
pill but that was very recent. She has
only missed the pill that one day in the
past 3 months and she took it asap the
next morning.
Ive read information on implamentation
bleeding, but I read that that only lasts
for 1-2 days and is usually 11-12 days
after fertilization, but she hadnt been
fertile til this past week (or at least I
dont think im not sure on her exact
schedule)
i also read that implamentation bleeding
usually happens around or during the time
when you would normally have your
period... Is that true? That would
make the most sense to me I guess, from a
logical standpoint, but then again this is
a womans body were talkin about here...
Something I know nothing about...
:wink:
ive also read that the pill can cause
spotting as well as other infections etc
etc.
Honestly, I wouldnt be freaking out so
much if it werent for cosmo magazine...
I know it sounds really wierd, but the day
my girlfriend first mentioned she had
spotting, she purchased cosmo. And in
there was an article on spotting while on
the pill or something like that, and it
had the possibilities listed like, the
pill, std, or pregnancy... And of course
the first thing I see on that page is the
pregnancy part so thats kind of why ive
been on this search for information.
Should we be concerned for her being
pregnant? Or am I just over worried
and thinking to much about it? Shes
still 2 weeks from her "sugar pills" so
its a ways til she has her period, could
it still be pregnancy?
I hope this made some sense, and if you
have any information I would be greatful
for your input. Thanks in advance.
And sorry for the extreemly long post, I
just thought the more information I give
the better my responses might be. Thanks
again and please feel free to correct me
if im wrong on any of the information ive
gathered in the past few days.

Obviously, because there was sex involved
there is a possibility of pregnancy.
Birth controls pills can lessen the
chances of becoming pregnant but do not
work 100%. But really all you can do is
wait, if she is late on her period she can
take a home pregnancy test.
If she did miss a pill and take it the
next morning that could cause a little
spotting, so that may be all that it is.
Rough sex can also cause spotting.
If she doesnt get her period have her
test! Good luck to you!

Ok so update today, and I think I should
be relieved I guess but I dont really
know.
So first of all I was wrong she has 1 week
til she suppose to get her period, so that
means that implantation bleeding would
occur right around the 12-16 which means
now... So this freaks me out
however today... She had terrible
cramps and was experiencing heavy bleeding
like she had her period. Is it
possible shes got her period 1 week in
advance? She is still experiencing
bleeding like its her period but its
slowed down a lot and shes having terrible
cramps. Shes also feeling sick but that
may be due to the high stress shes had
with family issues. Or could this mean
something else I dont know about, also
shes going to call a doctor tomorrow to
see what they say, im not only now
concerned about her being pregnant but
also about her personal health... Any
information again would be appreciated.
Thanks.
